    Reception


    Richard Cook and Brian Morton gave Consummation a four-star review in The Penguin Guide to Jazz, and included it in the book's Core Collection. Cook and Morton described the recording as "one of the best big-band records of its day and some kind of proof that the bands weren't completely dead."
