Cannot recommend this band's artistry and soul, musically and lyrically, highly enough. If Downbeat awarded eight stars, NoteSpeak 12 would have received eight. PLEASE HAVE A LISTEN!

With no chord instruments between them and three saxophonists, bassist Mike Downes and drummer Stich Wynston move like madmen to keep @ShuffleDemons moving, and simultaneously swing and rock #AllIn hot as demons: Shuffle Demons: All In @ All About Jazz https://t.co/dDAAz6m87n

"Wedding on the Cyclone" is a perfect fit and description, a marriage made up of different musical cultures whirled together by @DavidKrakauer @kathleentagg w/guitarist Yoshi Fruchter: Mazel Tov Cocktail Party! @ All About Jazz https://t.co/YzCwLQu2dk

@hippietend Twitter needs an icon much stronger than the love button, my friend. And the language needs words stronger than "Thank you," too. God bless you and yours, sister. Thnx for staying in touch.

@AlexanderBirdy @AllAboutJazz Good luck, my friend!

[Chris Slawecki @FunkMutations]

Writers often want to make great music sound more complicated than excellent tunes swung with power and grace. But sometimes it really is that simple. This is an absolute joy: @AlexanderBirdy: You Are the Light and the Way @ All About Jazz https://t.co/QvZoJ9HG01

[Chris Slawecki @FunkMutations]

@extremeflute My pleasure, Bill. This was a real enjoyable listen.
