"I have admired Ted Nash for several years for his work with Lincoln Center Jazz. Here, he proves to be a composer of note. Strings and jazz band blend beautifully. Ted plays with beautiful tone throughout -- although I miss the alto playing. I look forward to more work from Mr. Nash. I give it four stars simply because five must be reserved for recordings such as Far East Suite, Kind of Blue, etc."

A unique work of beauty

"It would seem that a CD that covers such a broad range would feel disconnected, but that's not the case at all. Nash and his band go from modern compositions with a string quartet to straight-ahead jazz that moves to the outside. Perhaps Nash's best, and certainly worth listening to."
