Reviews:
"The commingling of basic cries of life with tempered softness is befitting the recording's title Primal Elegance. Raw energy and compassion appear to coexist simultaneously and harmoniously."
"Tristano becomes an expressive conductor of charged ions while using his articulate fingering to construct significant moments in time. Crothers responds to these varied stimuli with deep, emotional abstractions -- with explosively deep and ponderous retorts to the energized volts of current sparking from Tristano's guitar."

"Connie
Crothers
and
Bud
Tristano
make
a
dynamic
duo
that
should
cause
some
serious
rumbles
of
joy
and
awe
within
the
music
world.
Expect
great
things
from
this
pairing."

"Bud
Tristano
treats
this
encounter
like
one
long,
segmented
guitar
solo,
definitely
putting
the
primal
in
primal
elegance."
"Crothers'
gentle
ostinatos,
rippling
arpeggios
and
odd
harmonies
find
different
ways
to
shade
the
music
almost
every
time."

"Their
encounter
on
"Primal
Elegance"
produces
music
of
a
singular
fascination.
It
is
not
jazz-rock
in
the
common
sense
of
the
term.
It
escapes
every
category.
Nevertheless,
it
all
works
to
telepathic
perfection."

"Very
experimental
and
interesting
music."-Gustavo Bolasini, El Retorno del Gigante, Argentina, September 2002
"It's a pure piece of art ... even if it's a little different in comparison
with what is called a guitar oriented album! Man ... it’s a higher form of art ... an enchantment for mind, spirit and soul!!! Congratulations! I'll play it with pride ... "
