"They say that Jimmy Bruno is the greatest unknown modern jazz guitar player. This CD proves it. As a bonus, Joey DeFrancesco plays some great B3 along with the tight groove of drummer Steve Holloway and Bassist Craig Thomas. This CD provides high octane hard bop throughout, but "Unit Seven" alone is worth the price...WOW, I gotta see this guy live."

"from your stereo speakers when you listen to this extrordinary disc! Grooves and swings from start to finish with world class musicianship from Bruno, featured guest Joey DeFrancesco and the rhythm section. Bassist Craig Thomas composition on the disc's opener "EV" is a great swinging starter, as are other disc highlights; "Pat's House", "Unit Seven", the elusive chords of "The Iguana's Uncle", and Jimmy's seven string chord melody intro to "Waltz For Nancy". We even get a Miles muted trumpet outing from Joey D. on "There Is No Greater Love".This disc is a great collaboration between these two artists and recommend it ALL jazz lovers!"

Simply superb

"I just recently got this album, and all I can say is that to me this is Bruno at his best. Having the great Joey DeFrancesco as his melodic foil pushes him to play at the zenith of his abilities. There simply is not a weak track on this CD. I especially enjoyed the relatively relaxed feel of "Unit 7". And for sheer excitement, "Pat's House" is a blast. This track reminds me of the McLaughlin/Coryell/Vitous collaboration "Spaces". However as great as John and Larry are, Bruno is just in another league."
