This is music with a great sense of musicality and sophistication. Ettore Garzia (Percorsi Musicali —IT)
Great record. Wonderful music with a very diverse repertoire, played flawlessly. You can hear the spirit and mutual respect the three musicians have for each other and the music. These guys have a history to be sure . Dave Liebman (These Human Beings liner notes - 2015)
“Melodies that hit all the angles, accentuating crispness over flow, which adds to the intrigue and a compulsion to see where they go, even if there isn’t a lot of melodic development in the process, much how a car chase can be thrilling even if it never leaves a small area of city blocks
