"This package is very misleading. There are no cuts of Lacy, Coleman, and Cherry playing TOGETHER. Many of the cuts can be found on Ornette's TOMORROW IS THE QUESTION or Steve Lacy's EVIDENCE (with Don Cherry). Guess I should have read the fine print about this "compilation" from the Czech Republic. I admire these musicians but am giving it one star to cause would-be buyers to take a closerlook before ordering this CD."

Yeah Man!

"The early recordings with Ornette are classics of course. During this time, Cherry made an additional recording with Steve Lacy on several Monk and Ellington tunes. Sometimes the combination of tunes in collections such as these sound awkward and ill-conceived. Not so here. What they have assemble here works very well as a single set. Great music at a budget price."

Very Listenable

"This is a great early Cherry recording with a unique be-bop flavor. Sound quality is excellent (you can even hear Charlie Haden uncharacteristically yelp "woo" in the background as Coleman begins his solo on Lonely Woman). This one has broad appeal and shouldn't disappoint hardcore fans of Cherry or Coleman or Lacy."
