A small-group celebration of the saxophone that's been an avant-garde institution since 1976, the latest recording featuring original members David Murray and Hamiet Bluiett stays in a similarly topical (if more upbeat) mind-set as 2006's 'Political Blues.' Now with Kidd Jordan and James Carter on board, this fiery live set is a swinging, soaring, funkily energetic affair. --LA Times, Chris Barton, February 2, 2011
