"Klock has put together an interesting and rewarding program for this disc; four of the five composers presented were not even names to me, so I was glad to make acquaintance with their music, as they all have something worthwhile to say. Klock and his colleagues all perform with skill and brilliance. The rounded and darker sound of this saxophonist leads me to speculate that he may be playing on an older Selmar (or possibly Caravan) mouthpiece. In any case, his tone is nothing less than full and pleasing, as is his technical prowess on his instrument(s). Saxophonists will want to explore this disc, as there's not a weak work on it, and most of them are always on the prowl for good new repertory. Non-saxophonists among Fanfare's readership, presuming their interest in that instrument, should give this disc a go as well, as it offers many rewards."
