“This has a lot going for it, much
of it Alex Graham. His sound is full and developed... 3 and a half
stars; this week’s record of the week.” -John Barrett
Jr. Allaboutjazz.com
“On ‘Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most’,
Graham's alto statement is stunningly lyrical as it rides the melody
line over Ashe's comping piano… Graham's sax that establishes
the ground rules for the way the music is to be advanced. Some of
the great alto players, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Phil
Woods and even a touch of Johnny Hodges can be discerned as he works
to extend the parameters of the horn on such cuts as ‘Enlah’
and the album's tour de force track, Graham's haunting, absorbing
‘More or Less’.”- Dave Nathan, All Music Guide |
