Good Days (Chicago Underground Quartet album)

In a review for DownBeat, Aaron Cohen wrote: "Good Days illustrates how much the quartet remains a part of Chicago's history of free-jazz and open-ended improvisation... As geographically dispersed as these musicians might be nowadays, they’ve never abandon their ideals." In an article for Point of Departure, Troy Collins wrote: "As the album progresses, it becomes clear how much the original members have grown over the past two decades... Good Days is a stellar example of artistic maturity, and while it sounds new, it's also a natural continuation of the band's formative work." Jazz Trail's Filipe Freitas stated: "The versatile members of the Chicago Underground Quartet have an entrenched ability to surprise whether playing within a relaxed context or on the edge of tonality... Good Days marks a very strong return of a formidable quartet." ==Track listing==
