4 star review from John McBeath in The Australian:

‘...The eight tracks are all standards, but of a slightly unusual nature, skilfully arranged by Dickeson. Harold Arlen’s Ill Wind is a 14-minute opener, where drums rhythmically emphasise the melody line with the horns, before two solo sets from all five, first with Manins’ full-bodied, endlessly inventive tenor, superbly underwritten by pianist Steve Barry and Alex Boneham’s bass. Isfahan features solo trumpet with the rhythm section and McNelis delivers a sensitive ballad interpretation, climbing chromatically into the upper register, then dropping down to caress the lower notes tenderly before a languid piano excursion. The title track opens with highly intelligent, crash-and-bang free drums followed by outstanding solos from everyone. Manins plays a wonderful breathy tribute to Coleman Hawkins on Darn That Dream and bass and drums provide clever exchanges in Charlie Parker’s Big Foot.’
