“Eight impassioned original compositions, each of which is expertly performed by Lyles' crack shot sextet. Lyles' stimulating originals cover a wide spectrum of moods, from difficult odd-meter tunes to gospel infused blues vehicles. This emotive work provides a great platform for many exciting group moments.”
CHICAGO JAZZ MAGAZINE
“A pastiche calling on bop traditions, the blues, soul jazz, avant garde, be-bop, and third stream (jazz/classical). Resolutely and authoritatively played by artists of the first rank.”
KUCI IRVINE
“…large bright and engaging…drummer Gustavo Cortinas, is as irrepressible or even-tempered as the moment requires.”
