Reviews
“Cole goes beyond the traditional expectations of the instruments just as his partners do, and the sound combinations of such diverse instruments being played with so much attention and taste do not fail to please. Sometimes one can practically hear the musicians thinking as they build their phrases around each other; if you are looking for background sound, go somewhere else.”
