Matthew Shipp with
AACM saxophonist
Roscoe Mitchell, recorded in 1995 and released on the

In his review for
AllMusic,
Chris Kelsey states: "The men speak the same language —albeit with slightly different accents— and they communicate quite well. A nice record."[3]The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the album "is a meeting of generations, and Shipp sounds respectful and happy to take second place for much of it, constantly searching for some normative path that might hint at a tonal centre".[4]
