The album's influence on future large ensemble jazz composition and arranging has led more recent critiques to acknowledge it as the most influential album of the later Kenton orchestras and of the 1970s. The album is a class production, and musically the most successful of all the attempts to interpret the Kenton style in contemporary terms.[1]
