“Barron, Collins and Xenopoulos have collectively found a written narrative that suits the band, and achieved a poised sound that is very pleasing indeed. No duds, no longueurs, just brilliant ideas and distinctive outcomes. Great to hear these accomplished musicians in this kind of creative shape. Track them down: it will be worth it.”  ★★★★ – Peter Vacher – Jazzwise magazine.
