Susie Ibarra
"...extremely tuneful and organic music with a real group synergy, plus a wonderful negotiation between accessibility and a true spirit of adventure. highly recommended!"
D.D. Jackson, Downbeat Magazine
"Armen Nalbandian's new trio release is a testament to what is happening in contemporary jazz today. A beautiful combination of hard bop, free improvisation, and experimentation, Nalbandian's new compositions (and the band that he has put together to realize them) are at once provocative, referential, and curiously "out" without leaving the lay listener a way in.”
