"George DeLancey understands the entire scope and history of the bass, his playing
reflects this and looks towards the future. As a composer, he is without a doubt, one
of the most creative melodists of his generation."
- Todd Stoll, Jazz at Lincoln Center - Education, Vice President
"There really is no need for a musicological or journalistic investigation as you experience this album. For music as fresh and new as this is, it's best just to let it sink in over repeated listenings, and trust me, the experience deepens with each successive visit." - Loren Schoenberg, National Jazz Museum In Harlem - Founding Director & Senior Scholar
