"This set is Koglmann in miniature. Koglmann functions in two settings here: as part of a quartet, and in duet with Misha Mengelberg. The quartet showcases Tony Coe (ts, cl), Burkhard Stangl (g), and the great Klaus Koch (b) alongside Koglmann's trumpet and flügelhorn. This intimacy, this quiet brilliance and restraint that is shown here on his works is a statement not only of how versed the man is in the traditions of jazz and classical music but just how aware he is of his own mates' musical strengths. His rearrangement of a couple of standards reveals his willingness to find new colors in the standards by allowing Coe, himself, and particularly Stangl and Mengelberg (who turns "My Old Flame" inside out harmonically) liberties with pitch, timbre, rhythm, and even harmony in order to get at a particular selection's essence and bring it into the daylight. There is great, very warm humor as well; he finds the odd musical phrase, highlights it, bends it, and then turns it back on itself." (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
