"This is not nu jazz, acid jazz, Jamie jazz, Parky jazz, Brit jazz, beardo jazz,post-jazz or twee jazz. It's dream jazz." Paul Morley, Observer Music Monthly
"The group that flung wide the jazz club windows and let fresh air into a scene mired in cliche and rear-view mirror gazing ....Rochford's drums are characterful as ever,with that sexy groove supplied as standard" The Wire
