The Toronto Star wrote that Ford "heads a septet that plays with the furious power of a big band, often employing three- and four-part harmonies on his eight strong compositions."[5] The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated: "Nice session matching tenor saxophone standout Ricky Ford with crew of fiery trumpet and trombone players ... Ford was a young lion back in the '70s, when there was no hype. He's now an experienced, skilled veteran."[3]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
