McAll KILLS this album with the HIATUS KAIYOTE baseline: Simon Mavin [Keys], Paul Bender [Bass] and Perrin Moss [Drums] - an easy call, as Moss and McAll had already worked together playing in Moss’s band. McAll also reached out to tenor saxophonist Julien Wilson, singer Rita Satch LIVING LEGEND Gary Bartz and others before adding his own magic touches of music and lyrics for the new album - invoking the Spiritual-Soul-Jazz of the '70's. Get Into It! The Nonsemble

Such great compositions. A showcase of world class contempory big band jazz. There is a lot happening in the orchestration, give yourself a bit of time and space to really appreciate this great album. Steve Vermeulen
