“The saxophone wizard Stephen Philip Harvey brings along Max Murray and Jordon Stanley for these 7 exciting jazz tracks that welcome a literary theme.
Included are 6 originals and a lone standard for this 5th album from Harvey, and it continues his spontaneous and inimitable version of jazz that few could replicate. (8/10)”
“Harvey performs with a strong personality. He will say it with his tenor. There are no words, but his soprano’s flexibility, strong tone, and direct expression cannot be easily matched by today’s saxophonists”
