The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [3] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Widely admired on first release, these are curiously disappointing sets that never seem to find the two players on common ground."[3]
In a double review for JazzTimes Duck Baker notes that "There is enormous variety of feeling and approach not just from track to track but within each performance, though describing these things is challenging."[4]
The BBC review by Peter Marsh says "Organic Resonance is stripped, spare stuff from just a trumpet and saxophone. It's possible to follow the compositional threads and really immerse yourself in the improvised dialogues; sometimes knotty, sometimes tender, sometimes furiously abstract."[5]
