Industry Reviews ...The rhythm section moves out with a heavy Caribbean or African beat, while Apfelbaum's tenor and Jeff Cressman's trombone wail on top, with...heavy [guitar] chords in the middle....All the musicians shine...their pursuit of cross-cultural montage lives on. Option (09/01/1996)
3 Stars - Good - ...Awash with tightly composed micro-riffs, this format paradoxically reveals Apfelbaum at his most unreserved, juiced on solo excess....Apfelbaum is already a major voice in new jazz, it's just that most people don't know it. Q (08/01/1996)
