"Although the personnel on this CD (with the exception of Dave Liebman) are fairly obscure, do not let that deter you from acquiring this highly enjoyable disc. Craig Fraedrich is an impressive trumpeter with and appealing tone and his well-planned release features three distinct groups playing modern and often adventurous bop. Many of these Washington D.C. – based musicians take excellent solos, particularly tenors Tony Malaby and John DeSalme, Liebman, and the leader himself. Well worth searching for." JAZZTIMES
