"I
responded to the music immediately with full attention. I knew right
off this wasn't lounge jazz, which turns me off. It struck me as
Meditative and Zenlike - I could feel the musicians making decisions,
caring for the melodies and the spaces between notes. There were no
scalar workouts, just giving the melody its time, and its integrity. It
was a fresh and creative approach to the music."
- Noel
Malsberg, Artist and Graphic Designer
"You even look like jazzers.
How long have you been doing this?"
- Joan Tower, World
Famous Composer
"These
guys demonstrate a musical facility that
amazed me, switching bass from player to player without missing a beat
or dropping the groove. Their music swings
jazz the way it should be played, wide fucking open. They begin each
tune by reading the heads from charts, and then lift off into orbit,
sometimes straying far from the terrestial sphere, but capturing the
essence of each one -and then return to the head and stop on a dime,
like they were any other no-cover Jazz trio."

"They play fewer notes,
which provides a greater value per note."
