Review

Entertainment Weekly (1/14/94, p.55) - "...What could have easily degenerated into arty posturing is a compelling, danceable delight..."
- Rating: A
Down Beat (1/94, p.49) - 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...The raps are fresher than the beats (the new beats, that is)...the hard-bop oldies...save the show by stealing it...."
Vibe (12/93-1/94, p.158) - "...HAND ON THE TORCH is that rare jazz-rap mix that takes jazz's rhythmic kick to the front of the house..."
