"William is at the heart of these pieces, working with Galipault to push the music forward. He never overwhelms the soloist and frequently provides a running commentary to compliment what they're doing..." ".. bassist Jacob William is the revelation of the album, since no matter how good his front line is, his open rhythmic pulse drives them on, slows them down, sets the tone and scene, like a solid and supple back bone the keeps the music focused and coherent. The music itself is slow, bluesy, full of soul, yet also with some middle-eastern tonal inflections, especially on the lengthy "Rishi Ways." "Palm Dance" is little more rhythmic and possibly the best track on the album." - Stef (freejazz-stef.blogpost.com) |
