Returning anew to the original record it's fascinating to re-discover how provocative Pink Floyd's classic remains, and to hear how well this quartet's collective interplay served that music. And how beautifully Sam Yahel's organ-while not the dominant voice, surely a prominent presence-sets the aesthetic tone for these proceedings: nothing rushed or forced or extravagant...elegant and swinging and exploratory, never stepping on anyone's toes-deceptively laid back and responsive, always listening intently, with plenty of rhythmic vitality...a sensibility he shares with collaborators Mike Moreno, Ari Hoenig and Seamus Blake, which goes a long ways towards explaining why their take on Pink Floyd's music is so engaging and stands up so well to repeated listenings. "Sam Yahel is clearly one of the most promising new organists on the New York City and international scene." -Michael G. Nascos, Jazziz "Ari Hoenig is a magician!" -Batteur Magazine "(Mike Moreno) is a versatile and increasingly prominent guitarist." -The New York Times "Seamus Blake is gaining increasing recognition as one of the finest and most creative young players emerging in jazz." -All About Jazz
