“Agreeably unkempt tone…militates against the sense of composerly politesse. Wins respect and enjoyment more readily than many a more polished performance.” – John Truitt, Jazz Review

“The highlight is Collier’s piece. Moodier, wider in terms of dynamics and textures, it forces the players into darker corners. As a bonus, it features talented vocalist Alison Bentley more extensively – she even gets to improvise a solo…well-written, well-performed light avant-garde jazz.” – François Couture, All-Music Guide

All tracks edited and mastered by Tim Turan
