Starless and Bible Black
In a series of articles for "The Guardian" newspaper titled "50 great moments in jazz", John Fordham wrote of the album: ""Under Milk Wood" was an evocative collection of sparky themes inspired by the Dylan Thomas radio play (it's sometimes performed with a narrator reading the parts). And thanks to Tracey's sparing piano and Wellins's softly hooting sax, the rippling tone-poem 'Starless and Bible Black' is widely acclaimed as one of the great jazz performances".
