“John Bickerton’s songs tell stories. Expansive, edgy, romantic, singing, are all (often simultaneous) descriptions of this music. As a guidepost, I’d say the group is somewhat comparable in temperament to Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet. A very accomplished tight-knit group. All tunes are original and carefully developed tales. Together they form a satisfying whole. Highly recommended.” — Hard Bop Cafe
