The Jazz Police “This release could turn out to be one of the top big band CD's of 2002...”
Jovino Santos Neto “...a brilliant and intuitive keyboard player and flutist who explores jazz, classical and Brazilian traditional music with equal zeal.”
Cuong Vu “Listeners coming from jazz won't feel lost. Plenty of the genre's current obsessions are here: odd-meter rhythm patterns, slow soloing over fast rhythms (vice versa too), and a kind of bucolic lyricism. The point of Mr. Vu's music, at its best, is just that: to make you feel lost in it.”
Geoffrey Keezer “Geoffrey possesses a refreshingly open-eared sensibility in the modern manner, and he has more than enough virtuosity and sheer musical wit and intelligence to weave all of his apparently disparate strands of influence into an original and compelling whole.”
Vincent Herring “His early experiences with Lionel Hampton and Nat Adderley gave Herring the grounding all superior musicians can only ever benefit from - in his case leading to his status as one of the most respected altoists extant.”
Bad Luck “Bad Luck's music bears down on you like a cyclone of fire...”
Nanami Haruta “[Haruta and Dease's] interplay, reminiscent of the legendary J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding duets, brings a sense of dialogue to the music.”
