Reception

edit

Bill Milkowski of JazzTimes commented "Even when Joshua puts soprano to his mouth and wanders dangerously close to Kenny G territory on Joni Mitchell’s “I Had a King,” he is saved by Blade’s hip time displacement and Meldhau’s unorthodox voicings, which tweak Redman just enough to bypass the road to sapville. Blade helps jazz up Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin'” with nimble, swinging cymbal and snare statements while Meldhau makes like a jazzy Glenn Gould on this invention. A strong frontman aided immensely by a brilliant band."[8] Jeff Simon of The Buffalo News commented, "It's a smart, pleasant standards disc by a younger player who has done better before and will again."[2]
