"The Akoustic Band, in my opinion, is a truly unappreciated piano trio in terms of Jazz History. The energy level of the three performers is worn on their sleeves, similar to the Oscar Peterson trio and Makoto Ozone of today. Chick Corea's style has been historically proven, and Pattituci's phrasing and solos are as exciting as Weckl's complex and impressive rhythmic ideas."
