Press-friendly pull quotes
“Absolutely astonishing and amazing musicianship”
“One sign of the players' immense professionalism was that it did not need to be put on display.”
“The audience might have been predominantly prog aficionados, but they left as jazz fans.”
“They know the rules and want to break them. Not in order to be perverse or trendy, but so that they can put something rich, worthwhile and fun back into jazz soil.”
