Reviews:
“An absolute gem of a CD… There are stretches of moody reflection, upbeat cookers,
humor and wit, beautiful solo works, surprising turns, and through it all, a swinging drive. And it bears repeated playing—remarkable stuff!” – Andrew Nozaka, Jazz Photographer“Magnificent… a superb album, bubbling with a combination of imaginative and sweet sounding playing—enjoyable year round.”
– Winthrop Bedford, Jazz Improv
