"In many ways this is one of the best improv sessions I've heard in recent times since this trio plays consistently as one dynamic force, taking off for points unknown, unafraid of going too far into the other worlds that Sun Ra used to talk about. The is one dynamite, edge-of-your-seat set, taking us all on a journey upwards and onwards." -Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
