"Immaculately written, arranged, played & recorded this is an impressive piece of work. United by a loose thematic concept the individual pieces hang together like a suite, coming together convincingly"

"Kansas Smitty’s most mature and varied offering to date. The music is impressively varied in terms of style, colour, rhythm and texture and both the writing and the playing is excellent throughout. "
