The meeting between completely fresh improvisations from some of Chicago's finest musicians and the shrewd sense of structure from McCraven makes this album successful. It simply has the best of both worlds. The production is not too sterile or cerebral, but has the spark and intimacy of live improvisation and the improvisations benefit from the editing and become tuneful and bodily grooves without meandering.
