“Red Dispersion disc brims with excitement…Standon’s guitar work, on the other hand, is mainly atmosphere and punctuation, pulsating irregularity with sharp swells and wielding needles full of angular melody. Harris is equally adroit, he and Brandt on the same constantly morphing rhythmic page, swinging luxuriously in and out of temp. It’s all very exciting.” – Marc Medwin, Cadence
“Red Dispersion is a breathtaking new take on harmolodics. This is the trio that picks up the potential of Ulmer and Coleman and runs with it. Alto sax, electric guitar, bass and drums all working right up at the very sharp thin edge of improv…Red Dispersion is a coming together of a new, New Thing. This is one of those rare recordings where everything suddenly jumps into the right place at the right time. Potentially Red Dispersion could go down as THE release of 2007. The evidence is in the ears.” – Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
