“Heirs to the eclectic big-band traditions of Loose Tubes, they make their own sounds from many styles” – The Guardian
“A return to the idea that contemporary jazz for big band can still generate the kind of direct impact more associated with rock and pop music, but without undermining its essential craft and sophistication” – Jazzwise
“An irresistible energy, powered by Cottrell’s sly way of investing the familiar chords of jazz with a startling new energy… pleasingly ambiguous, hectic and calm at once” – The Telegraph
“Beats & Pieces has little to do with big band as we know it and rather offered up a madhouse of sharps, flats, and contusions… I couldn’t be happier” – Rochester City Newspaper
