★★★★ “Every track has an architecture, a flow, a journey, a story…again and again one can admire and be touched by the ability of all four of these musicians to make the pacing, the story-telling all feel as natural as breathing.” – Sebastian Scotney, The Arts Desk

Interpret It Well, the new album featuring drummer/vibraphonist/composer
