“His unexpected melodic leaps and imaginative chording inexorably draw you in, delivering a nice balance of atmosphere and aggression.”
- GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
"A very attractive jazz-rock group featuring the Miley brothers, Jeff and James. Long, loping melodic lines, intuitive ensemble interaction, striking soloing, and gorgeous colorations set this music apart from run-of-the-mill indie jazz offerings".
