"Sweet Sweet Candy is clearly a bunch of really talented musicians, having a really good time. You can't pigeonhole the music 'cause they bounce from style to style - and make it all sound good.My favorite is "Feel" - the time signature's all over the map and still your toes keep tapping.Let some real musicians show you there's more to music than the four chords you hear on the radio!"
Excellent musicianship

"Hard to classify. Too rock to be jazz -- too jazz to be rock. The horn and rhythm sections are absolutely tight. Wonderful progression over their last CD. If you appreciate great playing, this one's for you. Catch 'em live if you're in Chicago."
Hybrid Urban Tunes

"This group skillfully eludes categorization. At once, the album weaves sounds of jazz nostalgia with a range of takes on contemporary urban grooves. It's a masterful work of hybridity that compels the body to move to the beat--but is equally a treat for the keen, attentive ear seeking out something complex."
Modern Jazz/Rock

"Sweet Sweet Candy's "Spinning" picks up where Jazz Rock fusion of the 70's died. These musicians mix strong jazz themes over a solid rock & roll foundation. It is an absolute pleasure to hear saxophones in such a setting. Both sax players exude a strong "Coltrane" influence as soloists. At the same time they demonstrate the tight, intricate ensemble playing of Blood, Sweat & Tears or Chicago. The drums are presented with a very fat, funky techno rhythm. The bass and guitar complement the technical dexterity demonstrated by the rest of the ensemble. Overall, this is an exciting mix of material that will challenge serious listeners."
