The first recording since 1985 by this prime and crazy mover of the loft era. Jemeel Moondoc's new trio is as catalyzing and deeply musical a group as any currently working in the so-called free jazz.
A spectacular showcase of players in love with the aesthetic and spiritual adventure of high-level improvisation. -Norman Weinstein, Boston Phoenix
Emotional, incredibly flexible, and constantly suprising. -Jerome Wilson, Option

Professor Graves always amazes, this lost session from a week prior to the recording of his classic "Babi" is a welcome addition to his discography. Mr. Johnson
On "Painters Winter", William Parker and company explore some fascinating musical spaces, a set of songs that stretch out and expand in a way that ably demonstrates both the players' impressive skills and Parker's exceptional gifts as a composer. rikm
