"Tenor saxist Greenlief and drummer Amendola dialogue in the free-improv spirit, effortlessly bouncing a wealth of ideas off each other - honks for gallops, toots for rumbles, melodic blowing for skipping rimshots. Many of the pieces are inspired by literary figures. The turbulent 'Saint Louis' (Amendola goes slapstick) is for Zora Neale Hurston. Great storytelling visuals throughout, especially on 'Anne Frank' when Amendola signals the marching arrival of Nazi storm troops. A few lulls, but otherwise sharp, funny and moving." - Downbeat, 1996
