Reception
Allmusic reviewer Thom Jurek states "For fans of
improvised music, What/If/They Both Could Fly has much
to offer. For seasoned listeners, it will not likely reveal
many hidden new doors, but it is enjoyable and engaging
for its lively interplay, presented in a relaxed, open, and
inquisitive fashion".[3] In The Guardian John Fordham
wrote "It's a must for free-jazz disciples of Parker and
McPhee, but the uninitiated may also find much to enjoy
in this gracefully rational and divertingly varied
exhibition of improv".[4]
