Bacchus may be the most sedate of the Quartet's sets-though the word "sedate" is used in a relative sense. The sound is loud, full of pulsing adrenaline and in your face brashness, but things seem a bit more measured than on previous efforts, resulting in their most approachable outing.

But don't let the words/labels "sedate" or "measured" fool you. The Quartet's sound has a beefy, vibrant energy; and Fujii's piano approach-whether she's flailing in a maelstrom or picking out brittle, pretty notes in moments of eye of the storm repose-is always surprising and engagingly outside any predictable norm.

Bacchus showcases Fujii at her best: focused, fearlessness, and not paying any attention at all to what might be expected from the confines of anybody's labels. Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
