"The duo is more than simply curating.
It's performances are pitch-perfect displaying an intuitive understanding that brings something deeply personal to the project."- Peter Margasak, Downbeat Read the full review!
"There is something magical and/or dreamlike about this music, an elegant vibe that I find touching. This is one of the most charming piano trio discs I've heard in a long while."
- Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery.
"Longtime fans of Charles Mingus who know his recordings well will appreciate the duo's thoughtful, inventive interpretations of the bassist's compositions." -Ken Dryden, All Music.com
"What amazes me is how tight this trio is and how they change direction, tempo and dynamics in mid-flow. Without a doubt, one of the best piano dates we've heard so far this year. "
