Record CollectorDec 3, 2024Some of the best playing of his career. Essential listening. [Christmas 2024, p.121]

The WireJan 3, 2025The material from Antibes and Paris is similar – standards, plus modal compositions such as “So What” and “All Blues” that first appeared on Kind Of Blue. The difference – and it’s huge – lies in the freedom with which these are explored. This excellent set brings out that difference in all its aspects. [Jan/Feb 2025, p.102]

Dec 3, 2024This handsomely packaged box offers stellar sound across four discs. The sound on the final two suffers a bit as Carter's playing is sometimes difficult, though not impossible to hear: It's a minor, fleeting irritation.

Dec 3, 2024Davis is a wonder throughout these shows. .... From the first minute of “So What” in July 1963, the Quintet sounds as if they had spent a decade together.

MojoDec 3, 2024Coleman is the revelation, a muscular, soulful conscience in the modal frenzy, raw and swinging like a barroom Coltrane. Shorter is already headed for tomorrow, spiralling through So What and Walkin’ with acrobatic modernism. But Coleman paved the way. This is his party. [Jan 2025, p.94]
