"Straight-ahead jazz at its best, with a forthright approach to well chosen material, supported by first rate soloists and a rock-solid rhythm section." - JazzReview.com
“Larry Brown is a pianist whose rendering of ballads is particularly moving" - Washingtonian Magazine
“An artist deserving of greater exposure” and “evokes the master touch." - The Washington Post
The group’s four CDs receive airplay all over the country, as well as in Brazil, Canada, Russia, and Japan.
