"This album offers proof that music lives beyond the musician who makes it. Jimmy Giuffre's music is timeless. In this CD the methods and purposes of his music achieve vital, immediate presence once again, and, more importantly, so does his music's spirit." (Steve Swallow, 2016) |
"Happy, warm, great groove"
(Jazzritmic, 2018)
