Richard Cook and Brian Morton called the shooting a monumental document (...), whose five differing dialects often have the most of what is called " post bop " is defined. (...) Pace, and harmonies, melody and dynamics to be radically rethought. The improvisations of the shots would have been unthinkable a few years earlier.

" Such a sequence is to follow in a further version of So What, the thematic is only indicated as a musical symbol, even faster than in the Berlin Philharmonic, and " All Blues ", in which Shorter's talent at leisure to advantage comes. Soloist Davis admits his located in top form on tenor sax man much space a. During his solos Shorter plays often completely free from any metric structure, but without ever leaving the thread to the overall musical context to lose. "
