"Greene has managed, through the process of recording and arranging, to turn the music itself into science...[Chris] has shown that pop, rock and R&B tunes can all exist on a jazz record because, stripped to their very core, they are all music. What a great discovery." -All About Jazz.com "This is a contemporary masterpiece that will hopefully help bring jazz to the masses...This tight-knit band has a great future if they can continue to mine this rich vein of musical gold that they have discovered.” -Jazz Police.com "Greene and his quartet dish up a tasty brew that mixes soul, jazz, R&B and pop into the enjoyable mix." -JazzChicago.net "...what are the jazz world needs...Overall, [the album] lives up to its name, show-casing a young hungry band full of fire and thoughtfulness and diverse influences and not afraid to mix it up and show it off." -Knock the Hustle.com “Their mastery of their respective instruments shines through on each note…[they] have a rock solid sound, and regardless of if they playing written music or dabbling in the freeform/experimental side of jazz, they pull it off smoothly…smart jazz, that’s easily enjoyed and appreciated by the occasional jazz fan or the longtime jazz connoisseur.” -ChicagoAtHome.com “Burnin' saxophonist Greene keeps the tempos up with his equally hard-working rhythm section.” -Time Out Chicago “an up-and-coming player who really hits hard with a tight, no-nonsense approach.” -DustyGroove.com “The funkiest brother on the planet.
