A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething

Beautiful album. Absolutely no filler tracks, and every tune is a character that stands out. Perfectly combines scripted melody with inspired and well played solos. Aaron Parks is a storyteller, and every song on this album is a chapter in one epic tale. ianjworsomething

Wonder- & colorful, multilayered & mature compositions, wonderfully played & sung. D’y’ like W. Shorter's Alegria (’03) or his piece Pegasus (’13), with - as here - Imani Winds & Br. Blade? Or J. Hollenbeck’s bigband-songs? And discreet synths at times? This album could make you very happy. Only critical aspect - as on thousands of jazz albums: the rattling &/or dull sound of drums and bass. (Why, does "nobody" replicate the perfect sound from e.g. B. Hersey's Year of the Ear albums ’75 -’79?) ROWIAL

Incredible drumming, and the whole band creates some unusual but memorable grooves.
The guitar player also looks like Thomas Dolby's cousin or nephew. imabuddha
