Ryan Hamilton Definitely slept on this Favorite track: Three Sisters.

Flavio two hypothetically different paths meet naturally flowing towards the same direction, a free mind

frankiethew I'm particularly liking Emergence. It feels like the perfect Venn diagram intersection between JBL's wildness and the rhythm sections solidly rooted groove.

richmondpinball Caught you all play in Raleigh last night. One of the best sets of music I’ve seen live. Thanks for a great show

Glenn Lester Our Man In Jazz meets Red meets Band Of Gypsys meets Instrument Soundtrack…Uptown. AOTY? Yes, sir! Favorite track: Serpent Tongue (Slight Return).

dianekupelian Another devastatingly powerful yet beautiful album by the most interesting instrumental band operating today. Do not miss these guys if they play near you. All the tracks are favorites, but special stand-outs include The Rules of The Game, Clutch, 30 Years of Knowing, and, with its sly reference to Hendrix in its title, Serpent Tongue (Slight Return). This is a band that folks will be talking about decades from now.

chuckiesparkles With the first two Messthetics albums, in order to get them to feel as this one and the other one with JBL you have to yell "JAZZBO" before every song. I'm glad that adding such a fantastic Sax player solved that. Favorite track: Deface the Currency.
