"Jemeel Moondoc and his bandmates are masters of the terrifying art of communicating how they feel, an art which, of course, takes both great intelligence and great discipline... A fire burns in Jemeel Moondoc's music and once it was ignited it keeps spreading; it's the flame you can also feel in the playing of Matthew Shipp, Hilliard Greene, and Newman Taylor Baker. This quartet's music is never easy, but it's always truthful."-Ed Hazel, liner notes
