“She’s [Jensen] incorporated his [Wheeler’s] balletic leaps into her own voice and repays her debt to him with performances that find the heart of the late trumpeter’s distinctive compositions.”
★★★★ DownBeat Magazine (website)
“Jensen and Treseler’s album is a beautiful testament to this self-effacing maestro[Wheeler].”
★★★★ 1/2 All About Jazz (full review)
“Jensen shows unexpected variety, from even tempered underplay to some unexpected Ellington growls and hues on ‘Old Time’.”
★★★★ DownBeat Magazine
“A fine example of symbiosis both collective (between all members of the group) and stylistic (between the performers and the original music of Kenny Wheeler).”
ICI Musique (full review)
“Refiguring Wheeler’s tune across space and time and rehabilitating his unassuming musical reputation with some agitation.”
★★★★ DownBeat Magazine (website)
“A magnificent band of musicians who have faithfully captured the spirit of Kenny Wheeler.”
