Editorial Reviews
...this smart, self-sufficient tribute ensemble turns in another lively and expertly performed set. A finely honed unit packed with exuberant soloists, the big band honors both the expansive vision and abundant wit of its irreplaceable inspiration. - Rating: B

4 stars (out of 5) - ...these accomplished musicians have rightfully made the Mingus Big Band their own....consider Fats Navarro asking Mingus: 'You play Cuban music?' and Mingus answering, 'I know some Mexican tunes.'
