Album Notes & Community Reviews

The eclectic New Jersey septet delivers an overwhelmingly joyous, double-album masterclass in progressive jazz-rock fusion. Featuring a full horn section and electric violin, the compositions weave through staggering technical complexity, Latin rhythms, and soaring, anthemic pop-vocal melodies. It is a wildly creative, highly technical album that never sacrifices its sheer sense of fun.

Descriptors: progressive, technical, uncommon-time-signatures, melodic, complex
