G.E Prince A spiritual journey drenched in the blues, jazz and soulful to the higher ground. This band are in unison with each others emotional journey, and when given the freedom to say their own individual story, you can hear and feel those messages. I am blown away by how much energy they generate. Kahil’s playing and singing generate passion and honesty. I am glad to have this important album in my collection. Favorite track: Lost in myself (Live at the Loving Cup).

Grant Ray They performed at San Francisco's Bird & Beckett, right before this album came out, and it was one of the most profound moments of jazz I've had the honor and privilege of witnessing. This album can't replace being there, but it comes mighty close.

Charlie Moonbeam This record is essential.

The Spirit is alive and fully-formed.

The grooves are effortless and inviting.

The feeling while listening is catharsis.

🙏 Favorite track: Black is Back.
