Tour Reviews
"Spontaneous jams and thrilling call-and-response solos ... At its best, it was like Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz: Four musicians playing four separate songs that fit together like pieces of a puzzle. ... It was a remarkable return." - Dallas Morning News
"One of the tightest quartets you'll ever see." - Salt Lake Tribune
