A beautiful review from Chris Siebold:

“This was the first Django solo record I discovered after listening to his playing and writing for years with Bill Bruford’s “EARTHWORKS”. I was alerted to its existence by a shining review in Down Beat magazine. I’m very thankful for that because this single CD turned my musical world upside down. The arrangements are unbelievably creative and fresh, the playing is outstanding, and the sound of the ensemble and intention of the compositions are extremely moving. From start to finish, this recording is a masterpiece and is the closest to my heart of the Django catalogue. It changed my life for the better. It gave me a sense for what is possible in music and completely amped my own creativity. I can’t say enough about this one. It may be the finest contemporary jazz offering I’ve ever heard. I can’t help but listen with immense respect, awe, and thanksgiving. Anyone who takes the time to listen intently to music will be rewarded 100 fold, time and time again, by this music. Buy several copies and give them to trusted friends. Spread the word about this music. You will not be disappointed!”
