»For many the
centre of attention will be the late Pepper's reedy but
emotionally supercharged sax tone and his compositions built
on native American chants, both qualities much admired by
Jan Garbarek, incidentally!«
Chris Clark, Jazz, The Magazine / London, August 1993
»Two compositions
by Lee and three by Pepper suggest a similar musical concept,
especially as they comprise attractive melodies and - a
pleasant change from the eternal Bop - have a lilting, modal
form. Into this flow Lee's largely melodic style and Pepper's
intensity, which made him -apart from everything else- the
most famous integrationist of his own Native American music
and contemporary jazz.«
Gerhard Ambrosius, Platten, Station to Station, Kiel, October
1993
