Interesting Approach

"Jeff Coffin is certainly worth checking out. This CD provides him with an excellent opportunity to fly solo as it were. The only things that really bother me about this CD are the fact that there is no piano (although that does lend clarity to the bass, as it is sometimes swallowed up in the left hand of the piano) and the trumpet player who appears throughout the album. His efforts do nothing to really add to the music, and it seems he is just mimicking mr. coffin most of the time. Also worth noting in this CD are the tracks where he doubles (plays two saxes at the same time, not overdubbed) this isn't done much, but it does provide an interesting effect."

Kudos to Jeff!

"Jeff Coffins departure from the tones shines his capibilities once again. I greatly enjoyed seeing his play with the Bela Fleck and the Flecktones earlier this year. What an excellent musician."
