October Revolution

Down Beat (7/97, p.55-56) - 3 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...each group's offerings are very strong....the interplay between Melford, long-term trio partner Horner and Rainey is particularly sensitive..."
JazzTimes (4/97, p.73) - "...Melford's...poignant, blues-drenched, space-sensitive piece taps both the pianist's strengths as a balladeer and her strong rapport with bassist Lindsey Horner and drummer Tom Rainey, leaving the listener wanting more....the piece works well as an entr'acte between two lengthy quartet improvisations..."
Q Magazine (5/97, p.113) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...it's compelling stuff."
Option (5-6/97, p.120) - "...Most of this CD is taken up with a long improvisation dedicated to Bill Dixon....high energy ensemble passages balanced by forlorn solo passages..."
