Reception
Reviewer Thom Jurek on Allmusic said "This duo digs deep into the spirit of a particular night in France and calls out of it the entire improvisational tradition from Duke Ellington (whose "Come Sunday" is featured here) to Steve Lacy (whose "Pearl Street" is played movingly) and the host of time periods in between... This is an astonishing record. Period".[2]
