And Now...

And Now... has Jenkins, Sirone and Cooper performing a piece with forward momentum ('Berlin Erfahrung'), a dirge, a one-chord drone, the thoughtful 'Light' and a whimsical and surprisingly gentle number ('Ism Schism') that pays tribute to Western classical music.

"[1] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, and commented: "More than 30 years after the group's first experiments, the members of the Revolutionary Ensemble got back together again.

"[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Andrey Henkin stated: "Judged in a vacuum, the album is energetic and has an appealing cerebral quality.

No horns and a bassist that functions as an equal member of the front melodic line changes the dynamic away from what listeners typically expect from jazz.

Time has not effaced their ability to forge ahead, grab imagination, and create music that is spirited, fierce, and dynamic.

"[6] Jazz Word's Ken Waxman wrote: "And Now... proves that the Revolutionary Ensemble still work together excellently after all these years apart, and the ellipses suggest there's more to come.
