about

"Abrams' best album for some time is almost hijacked by the extraordinary Brandon. His high, bird-like tones could almost be produced by a synth, were they not so rapidly and naturally articulated. This is among the most important contemporary big-band records." (source: The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD)
