"This amazing album effects raw, seminal Afro-Cuban jazz fusion, with Cuban and bebop musicians mixing it up in two traditions: bop (Monk, Shorter, Ellington) and Cuban chant. It's as important a contribution in small band work to both traditions as George Russell's Cubano Be and Cubano Bop and Tito Puente's crossover work with big bands." (Fred Bouchard/ Jazz Times)
