« More than a hint of jazz in the innards and outards of this music; it’s even a kind of apotheosis of the free-jazz sensibility of the soundworld between Ornette Coleman and Anthony Braxton, in a highly idealized metastasis » [Benjamin Boretz, liner notes in Richard Teitelbaum Piano Plus – Piano Music 1963-1998, New World Records, n. 80756-2; https://nwr-site-liner-notes.s3.amazonaws.com/80756.pdf]
