Review

Rolling Stone (7/11-25/96, p.90) - "...Carter's tribute to his own heroes also announces the arrival of a new hero..."
Spin (7/96, pp.92-93) - 7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - "...Carter's got most of the history of jazz saxophone covered--his Coleman Hawkins is as good as his David Murray--and he wants to show you, bolstered here by jazz royalty from both sides of the fence....He doesn't just exemplify the idea of jazz's meeting its future; he acts it out like a pantomime..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/14/96, pp.56-58) - "...Carter shows off versatility, lucidity, and wit on his...album of collaborations with veteran artists ranging from the quiet old lion of swing understatement, Harry `Sweets' Edison, to the insurgent trumpeter Lester Bowie..." - Rating: B+
Q (9/96, p.110) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...an exhilarating to-hell-with-it jam on classics...some smouldering mid-tempo blues, and even an angular, staccato Anthony Braxton composition. Carter continues to show that he understands eclecticism isn't just a marketing term."
JazzTimes (9/96, p.97) - "...Pairing youth with masters has always been compelling in jazz, and Carter operates with his usual confidence, and in ample deference to these masters....these are all familiar pieces, yet the freshness is keen and rewarding."
Vibe (9/96, p.206) - "...Carter's fourth album as a leader, features a slew of radically reinterpreted standards made famous by saxophone greats of yesteryear....[a] powerful, neotraditional manifesto."
New York Times (Publisher) (7/9/96, p.C11) - "...he's the saxophonist of the moment, and CONVERSIN' WITH THE ELDERS...shows why: he uses an astonishing tone, hard and gritty, and his improvisations are almost shocking in their audacity..."
