Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"For a current snapshot of where Wright and Coleman sit with their own playing, this is a great disc to visit. It should also make a nice intro to the relatively new voice of Kasyansky, who's also an imaginative player, well-suited to this particular trio."-Al Jones, Bagatellen
