Very nice CD, inspiring to my high school stepdaughter trumpeter
author: John Lace
This CD does indeed swing and sway nicely with great acoustic balance. A nice selection and positioning of material. An inspiration to my young jazz trumpeter stepdaughter, a great example of a woman who can blow horn with the best of them.

A solid and worthy remembrance of Joe Henderson.
author: Michael Doyle
Well beyond a meditation on life and loss, the album reveals an understated soulfulness and emotional center within the music. Those seeking a jazz album that arrives at the point where jazz becomes something meaningful, an emotional connection, a form of communication, a celebration of ability and sound, would be wise to seek this one out. Highly recommended.

Wondered where Rebecca was. Glad I found her, again
author: Fletcher Martin
Ten years ago I ran across Rebecca's first CD. I couldn't get over this Calif golden girl playing with the likes of Joe Henderson and not only holding her own but shining. Then for ten years there was a gap when I couldn't find anything by her....now this. Now we have a mature Franks who if anything reminds me of Miles in his best days. Hope she sticks around this time. Let me tell you, Joe would have been proud of this tribute and he would be proud to have played with her.

One of the best in my jazz collection!
author: NJC
A great spectrum of jazz! Rain and Tears is a beautiful ballad. Los Palmos is one of the most original instrumental songs I've heard, with a really cool Spanish feel. Detroit Blues has a great funkin groove. Actually, I enjoy all of the songs... a must for long drives.
