--- Scott Slade (host of Atlanta's Morning News on News/Talk 750 WSB from 5 - 8:30am) says, “I love the CD. Full of pleasant surprises. Nick and his skilled side men manage to bring the energy of their live performance into the polish of the studio. Hard bop-funk-progressive-fusion-acid jazz-blues you should own so you can say you heard them when.”
