“Israels' charts are the heart of his band's unique personality. Israels has fashioned an orchestra that flows in beautiful channels, and beauty is something jazz can use these days...This is a band to check out. The originals, the standards are freshly reworked, and they are played with passion and understanding. The pulse, never bombastic, moves the listener as surely as it moves the band. Israels deserves a lot of credit, but more importantly, the opportunity to be widely heard." —Ira Gitler, DownBeat

“...thrilling, nearly perfect...old-school in the best sense... tightly disciplined unit." —Allen Morrison, DownBeat
