"This CD showcases Allen her at her best, as she performs two originals (including "Feed the Fire" which eventually becomes Miles Davis' "Dig") in a trio with bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Lenny White. Veteran trumpeter Johnny Coles (a year before his death) contributes a faltering but heartfelt statement to "Old Folks" and is part of an international nonet (along with Danielsson, White, and five other horns) on the two remaining pieces; the high point is Allen's complex and nearly 19-minute "Some Aspects of Water."
