"Ryan Keberle is one of the truly great young musicians coming up and turning heads. He has much to say as both a player and writer. This beautiful project is both impressive and expressive, fresh, yet rooted. Here he's surrounded himself by a truly wonderful group of talented and like-minded individuals who all give up absolutely marvelous solos, and together create a great ensemble. I've already enlisted Ryan to play many gigs with my own group. This is an individual whose career I will take enormous pleasure in watching bloom."
