From All About Jazz - Tom Greenland review:
"A chordless quartet, the group manifests cohesive rapport, creative tension and rapprochement, all of a piece. Bock’s
compositions are ideal jump-off points for group flight, with subtle counterpoint lines and pointillistic exchanges, containing just
enough harmonic scaffolding to keep the painters from falling, yet allowing ample room for creative brushstrokes. "
