"Together, these four create sounds heard from no other group... Stein provides a lot to work with, including five strong originals, well-chosen standards, and a lyrical solo concept that has only been enhanced by his recent work with Ron Gill and other vocalists... Best of all, Stein's vision of music as "a conversation among friends, not an excuse for impressing people with chops," sets a tone that is upheld and magnified by his partners."
