about

the ensemble is at its best on the new Bombogenic (High Two), which raises the stakes by folding a string quartet into the arrangements and enlisting superb alto saxophonist Oliver Lake, who unleashes one tart, exciting solo after another and even brings a handful of compositions to the table. — Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader

From the Liner Notes (LP)
“The beauty shines through. Do yourself a favor: put on your headphones or get close to your speakers, and close your eyes. Hold someone’s hand. Take this journey. By the time you get to track six, “Streamin’,” you will already be transported. And then, it is time for Professor Lake to begin spinning his magic. You don’t need to look to the future, you are there. We are here, now. We are in this together. Music reminds us of our gifts, our responsibilities, and the spirit of life.

And beauty shines brightly.”

– Steve Rowland, oral historian and radio documentary producer, two-time Peabody Award Winner (Miles Davis Radio Program, Leonard Bernstein: An American Life, Carlos Santana: Music For Life)
