Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "Far from academic, this is fire-breathing music, one that forces not only confrontation but, from any open-minded music listener, a reexamination of the jazz terrain as a once, present, and future music."Jurek, T., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-kold-kage-mw0000072095 Allmusic Review] accessed November 17, 2014
