Reception

edit

AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars and its review by Thom Jurek states: 'The last – and perhaps most brilliant – part in a trilogy of solo works by British pianist and composer Keith Tippett, Mujician III is a bit of a departure from its predecessors. It has only two tracks, one a "love improvisation" to his wife, vocalist Julie Tippett ("I Love You Julie"), and the other an extended meditation on late summer ("August Air").'[3]
