*** From Downbeat Magazine’s 4-star review: “As jazz-rock releases go, ‘Jungle Fever’ is more rock than jazz, and that’s one of the sources of it’s strength.  The head lines are direct, economical and melodic; the solos they frame are rockish and intense.  The result is an interface that grabs the listener both emotionaly  and physically”……………… ”Michael Breckers spot on ‘Last Tango in Paris’ is a virtuoistic  romp; he barrels like a Ferrari through a lively gauntlet formed by the rhythm section and Larsen’s organ”…………………”the players’ emotional involvment with the material is undeniable, and the music’s lyrical and  funky qualities are spun together beautifully”.***** *
