Review: straight ahead contemporary jazz. “A hopping B3 ace that knows how to give the rest of the band some steps up and delivers the goods here as this jazzy outing hits all the right notes throughout. A purely bad ass organ combo date, you can feel the grease dripping as it wends its funky way home.” -Chris Spector, Midwest Record
