The set as a whole has a suite-like quality
of interconnectedness.The pace is measured
and introspective, and reverential, leaving the
ring of a familiar melody lingering at the end
of a fine set of sounds. (All About Jazz, USA)

Five incisive figures find an intimacy and intensity that is
rare among all-star ensembles. A stylistically diverse collection
