...A brand new label (Henceforth Records) sent us this splendid CD...Ellis on bass, Eneidi doing alto sax & Valsamis on drums...This is some of the most fresh & original improv jazz I've heard in (quite) a while, & I get an image of hearing these folks for many years to come! Some GREAT high-energy music that adventuresome souls everywhere will find totally enchanting. I give this one a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as well as the "PICK" of this issue for "best improvised jazz"!

The best thing about the recording is the four pieces [ranging from 9 minutes to just over 40 minutes] are drawn out improvisations. Each of the players is permitted ample room to stretch out and show off their plentiful skills.
