"Small jazz ensembles are a rarity in this locale; small jazz groups performing all original material are rarer still. But then this is a rare LP that stacks up favorably to any major lable jazz offering. Bassist Frieson has put together an impressive cast of players to animate his substantial compositions, which evoke a variety of influences. Lyricism, spacey funk, off kilter horn charts and no chop fests that overwhelm the tunes. Highly recommended ..."

"... Representing a multitude of musical genres this celebration of musicianship springs a few salty drops of symbolically charged emotion and you won't be the slightest bit upset. Fine writing, fine musicianship. You will not be dissapointed."
