“This Jaki Byard repertory outfit was impressive in the way they gave props to both the wily pianist’s serious and silly sides. Whimsy was part of the maestro’s swinging approach, and flautist Jamie Baum and saxophonist Adam Kolker capture that vibe while dropping some very hip solos. ” — Jim Macnie, Village Voice
“The music was all Byard’s, played lovingly and a bit loosely…Most of the songs in the first set were fine examples of standard form gone just slightly haywire. The
absence of a pianist in the group is good strategy. ” –Nate Chinen, New York Times
