| The interplay among the three exemplifies a fourth-mind sensitivity by which the thought processes of the individual players combine to create an external aesthetic engine that drives their collective playing into a garden of empathy whose gates are unlocked by fewer musicians every year. | |

critics' picks #6 recording 1997. Cadence reviewers' choice top ten recordings 1997. "Moondoc seemed to bare his very soul with his darting clipped jumps, plaintive smears, and skirling cries. The three seemed to be charged particles, simultaneously sparking and surging with the turbulent crackling energy of a storm cloud." Cadence "Moondoc's alto...restlessly tumbles forth from antic bounces to r & b drenched Texas honk to piglet squeals to bursts of tenor-like resonance. High-impact and, often, high-velocity, the Moondoc trio blazes like a hail of comets." Jazziz |
