[Canandaigua Quartet Samples]
"this adventurous disc describes a most enjoyable journey through territory that spans mimimalism as well as the promised jazz and rock...the players prove to be as effective in reflective music as in the brightly colored, driven movements...Definitely a different take on the string-quartet medium. Well worth investigating."
