review by Alex Henderson stated "One of the many impressive albums he provided in the '90s, ''Journey, Man!'' finds the trumpeter leading a band he called Hard Corps and employs a cast of players you'd expect to find on a hard bop date ... And in fact, hard bop and post-bop are exactly what the sextet plays ...
