The Wire {Ben Watson, April 2001}
Sonic Liberation Front builds up a dialogue between Yoruba and bop from scratch, and it's an extraordinary listen."
The Wire {Ben Watson, Aug 2004}
SLF reject the motifs that have congealed into cliche, and come up with a music where intuitive rhythm and analytical intellect jostle each other and become one... ludicrously superb."
Tom Moon, Philadelphia Inquirer, Dec 26, 2004
A brazen conflation of free jazz, electronica, and Afro-Cuban rhythm. Those who think jamming begins and ends with Phish are urged to track this down immediately.
Village Voice (Tom Hull) Number 1 Jazz Album of 2004
Yin and yang-fierce avant-sax and friendly folk songs united by shifty Afro-Cuban beats."
Charles Ellerbe's Matrix 12:38 -
After working with Einstein for 15 years, a man would have to be a fool not to try to build a time bending machine" - Charles Ellerbe on his 15 years in Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Band
