The Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra continues to be one of our great music institutions... Highlights include the band's crisp section work, the galvanizing solos, and the dazzling reed ensemble... And Tabackin, whether on flute or tenor, is just absolutely amazing... Director Arnold Rosenthal does a good job in keeping the music front and center. And the sound quality is first-rate.--JazzTimes MagazineThe music is allowed to speak for itself… Overall, a fine all-around program that's easily recommended.--Scott Yanow, The Jazz ReportThe band's quality is apparent in this performance… Tabackin shines on tenor sax and takes a beautiful turn on flute… the feeling of intensity on a crowded bandstand is captured.--John Basile, The Jazz Line
