Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 6/16/95, p.61
"...Here's the gloriously fat, ringing tone of one of the foremost trumpeters of our time, leading a swaggering 10-piece band....they understand better than many of today's solemn young lions the fun and impudence that helped define jazz."
- Rating: A-
Q - 7/93, p.87
4 Stars - Excellent - "...[the CD was] recorded live in Switzerland the day after the LA riots, and is fired with righteous anger, a rare emotion to hear from a tuba and French horn..."
