I've been listening to this new release on Driff Records and the music captured here is about as exciting as it gets! Jorrit Dijkstra, Pandelis Karayorgis, Nate McBride, Luther Gray and the explosive Jeb Bishop have produced an album that when it ended, I was literally sad that there wasn't more to listen to. It's THAT good!!! 😎 Rick Mathis

Touch My Beloved's Thought

Released on Dave Douglas' influential Greenleaf Music...DD has exemplary antenna! Ascendent ensemble playing. This is a great listen...intrinsically linked to Mingus' 'The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady', listen separately or in conjunction but embrace both. Think of them as call and response, perhaps.

Its Trio (sometimes Duo) music changing between space and density. Each musician beautifully develops the sound of his instrument. Just listen to the tone quality of the trumpet,*****. freejazzy
