“Their music has a very focused energy, with a good dose of groove, counterpoint, emotion, and heart. It is refreshing to hear a true collaboration and to witness the clarity of their ideas being realized by such a solid and talented band.” – Grammy winning vocalist/composer Luciana Souza

“Really enjoyed listening to Sanctuary…great writing and playing by everyone involved, all crafted very elegantly. Highly recommended.” – Grammy winning saxophonist/composer Miguel Zenón

“Their music appeals as much to the mind as the spirit… it’s the content of their inventions, not any showiness or exploitation of clichés, that moves the listener.” – Bob Doerschuk, DownBeat
