REVIEW
On Sun Ra: '.his influence as a musician - one who prized theatricality, wrote poetry, released his own music and reported Saturn as his birthplace - seems to be everywhere lately.' --Brad Faberman - Rolling Stone
On Marshall Allen: 'one of the most distinctive and original saxophonists of the postwar era.' --Jason Ankeny - AllMusic Guide
On Tyler Mitchell: 'Tyler is one of the all time amazing bassists in the 20th and 21st Century. his greatness is in his technique and ability to support the singer/vocalist as well as his charming and easy spirit.' --Tamm E Hunt - Baltimore Jazz Chronicles
