5 STARS/ IMPROVIJAZZATION
"Tony & th’ players definitely know how to convey that PHONK & keep it from ever draggin’ ya’ down (no matter how blues it gets); my personal favorite, to be sure!

5 STARS/AMAZON
"For
this album Tony and his Crew deliver what is essentially eleven short
films, each one painting a stunningly visual portrait of a fascinating
world and some of its most captivating and compelling denizens. Driven
on a soundtrack of explosively spirited and utterly delightful music,
the spectacularly imaginative screenplay is depicted through a prism
that Tony Adamo calls Vocal/HipSpokenWord
