"Mr. Saft played the final set with his New Zion Trio, featuring Larry Grenadier on bass and Craig Santiago on drums. With chiming Fender Rhodes piano and deep-current pulse, it was explicitly derived from Jamaican dub music, tuned into notions of trancelike repetition." - Nate Chinen, NYTimes, 6.29.11
