Wiki and Discogs worth looking at.
Wiki: Critical opinion remains divided. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow observed "Much of the time the results are somewhat pompous and stiff ... The music, like the project, had good intentions but is uneven" On All About Jazz William Grim wrote "It's nice to think there was a time in the not too distant past when an album like this could have gotten nominated for a Grammy. Fortunately, this CD gives us an insight into what was undoubtedly one of the most important experiments in the history of modern jazz".
