Reviews:

HIGH FIDELITY, Don Heckman: " San Francisco pianist/psychiatrist/composer Denny Zeitlin challenges Keith Jarrett's solo-piano primacy with this fascinating new collection of improvisations. His playing is every bit as interesting as Jarrett’s and yet totally different—more compositional in nature, and more varied in tone and texture. An invaluable album for piano fans."

DOWNBEAT, Jon Balleras: "...followers of Zeitlin's early acoustic playing will be pleased to learn that his roller coaster runs, bouncy polychords, and crashing, strategically placed climaxes resurface here, held together, as always, by Zeitlin's keen intuitive logic...Throughout, Zeitlin's technique is formidable. But most importantly, listening to Denny Zeitlin is listening to a mind at work, listening to a stylistically rich, complete musician."
