reception

According to Don Phipps, who reviewed the album in All About Jazz and awarded it 4½ (out of five) stars, one can only hope that this recording is only the starting point “for this quartet. The four highly talented musicians provide rousing music. They listen to each other attentively and follow or lead, as needed. ”The music played is dense, complex, lyrical and harmonious. It is challenging, but never overpowering. Over the years, Matthew Shipp has remained true to his vision, the author sums up. "No compromise. Only first-class compositions with strong improvisation expeditions. “ Not Bound is an exemplary example.
