... paying tribute without resorting to mere recreations .

...

At a live concert, the quintet not only performs the five selections from the Out To Lunch Lp but a pair of additional Dolphy songs ("Far Cry" and "The Prophet") plus Russum's "Rush Hour." Milne brings back Eric Dolphy's spirit and a little bit of his sound without the interval jumps and the more radical elements of his improvisations. Rossum ... is an excellent post bop soloist with his own personality. Vibraphonist Hagedorn, like Hutcherson on the original date, ably assumes the role of a piano, sometimes taking solo honors. He is a strong asset in giving this set both a tie to the original record and a feeling of looking ahead to the future.
