“Remarkable intuition as an ensemble, ably dialoguing as if in a narrative… ” – Exclaim!
“Seamlessly blending Balkan-folk music, hip-swaying swing, with a dynamic rock edge. A jazz-ensemble mastery, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, colliding with modern cats like Beirut and Gogol Bordello. A fusion of musical elements to create a sound fresh and intoxicating.” – Lonely Vagabond
