"Kase has surrounded himself with some of the best players on the contemporary scene, including saxophonist Bob Mintzer and drummer Adam Nussbaum. Ther's great potential and present mastery here. and the jazz world at large ought to be paying more attention in the not too distant future."
-Michael G. Nastos, ANN ARBOR NEWS * * * *


"Chris Kase sounds relaxed at all tempos, takes a variety of thoughtful but forceful solos, and by the end of this ultimately rewarding disc will have won most listeners over."
-Scott Yanow, JAZZIZ

"There is a lightness to this music that diguises some of its complexity and sophistication...close listening to the compositions and solos is always more rewarding than the music's surface suggests."
-Krin Gabbard, CADENCE

"Aside from the joy of discovering Kase as an instrumentalist and composer whose tunes swing hard and eschew the cliches that predominate so much of today's "retro-bop," saxophonist Mintzer, normally associated with more commercial offerings, turns in afully satisfying straight-ahead performance."
