Of Musical Significance.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Over the past 2 years I have had the privilege of studying under the tutelage of both Ben Schachter and, for a brief period, Micah Jones. To be perfectly honest, I haven't the musicality or comprehension of jazz to really critique any artist of Ben Schacter's caliber. The only insightful comments I could possibly offer would be to say what an inspiration the music of Ben Schachter has been to me and to what degree of eloquence, originality and profound musical expression his work transcends. The personnel on this album is a collection of great artists who are all exceptional musicians among exceptional musicians including Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Jef Lee Johnson, Micah Jones, Tom Cohen and Tim Haggins. Together they perform Schachter's compositions to a level of excellence rarely achieved. I give this album 5 stars and I can't imagine giving it less."
