Praise for Tony Malaby:
" Mr. Malaby, a powerful and increasingly prominent tenor saxophonist, brings a Spanish tinge to this progressive ensemble."
-The New York Times

"Tony Malaby is a probing tenor saxophonist who is comfortable with both inside and outside playing. Some of Malaby's work has been very avant-garde and left of center, although he has had no problem playing more mainstream post-bop."
-All Music

"Si l’enfer est baigné de cette atmosphère chauffée à blanc, et peuplé de diablotins du même acabit que Tony, Marc et Daniel, il y a fort à parier pour que le paradis ne soit pas là où l’on croit... " - Citizen Jazz.


Praise for John Hollenbeck:
"Percussionist-composer John Hollenbeck is among the new skinsmen with enough raw skill to make his estimable melodic gifts serve his impeccable timing." K. Leander Williams - Time Out/NY

"...superb, technically ingenious...,passionate and serious, but also playful and funny..." Douglas Wolk - Village Voice

"...It's sensitive, thinking music, continually changing shape and texture; Mr. Hollenbeck is an estimable jazz drummer whose goals clearly lie beyond jazz." Ben Ratliff - New York Times

Praise for Marcus Rojas:
"The tuba was played here with unusual lyrical potency by Marcus Rojas."
Bernard Holland, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Marcus Rojas was mind blowing on tuba. His steady bass lines were touched by a fantastic range. ...bass lines so down to earth, the worms were diggin it."-THE PEAK, British Columbia

"...Marcus Rojas, possibly the worlds best all around tuba player."
-Harvey Pekar
