5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous, quirky celebration of life, July 2, 2007

I learned from the liner notes that this album was meant to commemorate Jack's late mother in an effort to imbue a time of mourning with the spirit of joy and celebration. In my opinion, this is achieved! Many of the tunes have tongue in cheek themes and make you smile. At the same time, the musicianship is brilliant and manages for the most part to sound fresh even after 30 years. When the 70s sound appears as such, it is still with panache and cool, so it serves as a monument to that time period as well. Highly recommended.

This is a very special selection, played with genuine involvement, inspiration and commitment, as a felt homage in memory of Jack's mother.

Despite the years this album maintains that touch of remarkable distinction. A genuine run around the essential roots of the beginnings of this genre.

It's useless to talk about the magnificence of this connoted drum' s superstar. The rest of the team plays with enraptured bliss.

A celebration of the music by itself.

I first heard of Jack deJohnette as part of the Keith Jarrett trio, but I saw this release on a cassette at a thrift store of all places and snatched it up!! It's wonderful. He's a great drummer not to mention pianist and the tuba is an interesting addition to the overall sound. Monk's Mood is a great piece as are his original sounds.
