A "merry band of joyful noise creationists." "Proving that great music still exists even as new traditions are being forged." - Chris Hislop, Portsmouth Herald
"Tightly arranged and swinging like a modern version of John Kirbys Sextet of the 30s." "Utterly charming!" - Jazz Weekly
"The album (The Adventures of Oliver Z. Wanderkook) stands alone as a piece of art ... they maintain their memorable beauty and convey a story all their own.” - Austin Sorette, The Sound
