"Recorded off the soundboard during a four-night stand in April of 2006, Hammond B-3 boss DeFrancesco laid it down with saxophonist Coleman sitting in with his trio (which also includes guitarist Jake Langley and drummer Byron Landham). The raw and genuine excitement of these cuts is not diminished a bit by editing. In "Cherokee", Coleman's on fire yet fluid, wrapping the notes around the time signature and being on the dime throughout his solo. DeFrancesco's own solo is one of those rather amazing things that, 50 years after Jimmy Smith, you still can't wrap your head around: that this lightning-quick playing can be done on a Hammond! A long read of Lee Morgan's gorgeous "Ceora" is next, with DeFrancesco filling the pockets during Coleman's fine and empathetic solo, which engages the melody while simultaneously reinventing it. (...) DeFrancesco is his typically dazzling, solidly rhythmic self, but Coleman is the true star of the evening. Essential jazz purchase." (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
