In a New York Times review of Ron Horton’s Genius Envy (OmniTone), Ben Ratliff said that it “bears the imprint of patience and maturity as well as historical literacy.  It is studiously attentive to jazz of the last 40 years, specifically, a line of small–group composers like Paul Bley, Ornette Coleman, Andrew Hill and Marty Ehrlich, all of whom have written fairly romantic music while experimenting with rhythm and harmony.”
