"
He stands now as one of the most adventurous and prolific bandleaders in jazz
." --
David French
, DownBeat
"
William Parker pursues spirituality through hard work. He plays bass as if reaching heaven is a matter of steadily, repeatedly knocking until someone opens the door; he's one of the avant-garde jazz players most dedicated to the pursuit of higher purpose and heightened awareness in music, and he approaches it with a heavy, elemental tone
." --
Chris Dahlen
, Pitchfork
"
Patricia Nicholson... is also an outstanding poet and dancer
." --
Chris Tart
, DownBeat
"
William Parker is a towering figure in 21st century avant-garde music, widely recognised as a crucial link to the heart of free jazz, and a true heavyweight of the double bass
." --
Daniel Spicer
, BBC
