September 2018. It's July 2020 now. I'm feeling that's too long, y'know..? This stuff's addictive. You just have to get more of it. The composition and performance on show are in a class of their own. But I say that every time. This is jazz like nothing else.

A beautiful phrasing, a very nuanced and distinctive play with a very pleasant personal sound . Both perfect musically and technically. Simply a worthy successor to tenor saxophonists as deeply regretted Michael Brecker. Highly recommended !

Innovative and full of character. It's a long time since I've been so enraptured by a release such as this. 4 unique talents 'Together as One'.
