"Anders Svanoe's malleability is on full display here-calypsos, bebop heads, Coltrane-influenced modal blowing, free improvisations, Scandinavian folk songs, aleatoric scores, graphic notation, verbal cues and even Iron Maiden-influenced material are just some of the points of departure."
"This is an important recording, not only in demonstrating the breadth of knowledge and embrace of styles that is necessary for musicians in 2016 and beyond, but also to showcase the sound and composition of a top-notch baritone saxophonist who raises the bar for the weighty instrument's tone, facility and range of expression."
