"A Portuguese trumpeter more and more present in the international scene, in such a way that he has more concerts scheduled in other countries than on his own, Luis Vicente never seems to stop: after the success of his partnership with John Dikeman, William Parker and Hamid Drake in "Goes Without Saying, But It's Got to Be Said", he turns to national silver (represented here by Goncalo Almeida and Pedro Melo Alves, both protagonists of their own projects) and signs an album that inspires Drake, the above mentioned master drummer, to write (in the liner notes) that Vicente's work is a lesson about "keep looking, searching for new possibilities, broadening ones views" and part of "the underlying code of the whole universe", as Sufi mystic Hazrat Iayat Khan put it.
Once again applying his never apologetic "sense of freedom", Vicente is back with a powerful album that is a joy to listen to. He may not take any prisoners, but just because he releases them."-Clean Feed
