REVIEWS
"tangy, ass-wiggling funk...a groove so deep you could fall right in... potent pulse... great, greasy lines by Beasley...a fun romp ...more bite than a simple groove record ...tasty stuff that needs to happen more often... contagious and penetrating grooves... honey dew sounds of southern soul... entertaining recipe of pop, world, R&B and soul injected with funk blasts and contemporary jazz class.... a fantastic recording that is simply pure funk..."

"sumptuous potion of distinct, powerful and peerless music created by this superb Trio"

"they collectively stir up a melting pot of jazz-funk, organic grooves, and soulful sounds resonate feverishly through the walls of these eleven songs is uplifted to greater heights by an extraordinary cast of guest performers"
