Beautiful album. Absolutely no filler tracks, and every tune is a character that stands out. Perfectly combines scripted melody with inspired and well played solos. Aaron Parks is a storyteller, and every song on this album is a chapter in one epic tale. ianjworsomething

Pretty much everything. The playing is incredible and the compositions lovely. But most of all I love the intensity of listening, joy and collaboration that oozes from every piece. Three of today's finest jazz musicians who were clearly thirsting for live co-creation and pull off a masterpiece on this album. tjsimon1

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething

Wonder- & colorful, multilayered & mature compositions, wonderfully played & sung. D’y’ like W. Shorter's Alegria (’03) or his piece Pegasus (’13), with - as here - Imani Winds & Br. Blade? Or J. Hollenbeck’s bigband-songs? And discreet synths at times? This album could make you very happy. Only critical aspect - as on thousands of jazz albums: the rattling &/or dull sound of drums and bass. (Why, does "nobody" replicate the perfect sound from e.g. B. Hersey's Year of the Ear albums ’75 -’79?) ROWIAL
