Intuitive, rootsy, gutsy. If mind expanding jazz is what you’re in to, ring the bell, school is in. If you’re not careful, you could fall down and get your pants dirty.(Mr. fingers) Matrix Magazine, Montreal
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• What I know is their music carried the full and frenzied sweetness of a reincarnated Albert Ayler, vacationing on a nameless South American beach sending dispatches of early 60’s Ornette Coleman records to mothers with children wailing in Harlem. Their punishing rhythms pulsed without harmony or discord through the venue, filling the dance floor with flailing limbs by the end of the show. (Dandy Glover) Matrix Magazine, Montreal ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• African chants and a musicianship weaned on everything from punk to pop. At times composed and at others improvised, this record often blurs those lines without a hitch, a true sign from above. (Steve Guimond) Ottowa Xpress
