(Forget Not CD) 4½ Stars - “Anderson...creates new music and improvisations that are full of life, energy and fresh ideas. Highly recommended.” —Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
…Quest…composed by Stephen Anderson, establishes a method of creating a four- part texture by just two instruments. This, to my ears, is the most innovative work on the CD, and is really quite striking in its originality
