Old and New Dreams is the self-titled second album by jazz quartet
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow called the album "stirring music in a setting that always brought out the best in each of these musicians."[2]
Between Sound and Space's Tyran Grillo called the album a "delightful excursion into post-bop outlands that sounds as alive as ever", and wrote: "This is a superb album, and regardless of whether these dreams are old or new, they never seem to fade. What makes it so strong is its careful balance of sidewinding monologues and the sense of direction that a full band sound brings. One craves that sound throughout and the expectation it manifests, so that when it comes in such thick doses, it heightens our involvement in the listening. It acknowledges us."[3]
