Quotes about the Dave Ness Trio from Chicago Jazz Magazine:
"There is no denying his (Ness') superlative skill on the guitar."
“Musical globetrotting is one of the features of this delightful album, with influences ranging from flamenco to Brazilian genres.”
“…creatively accomplished record…”
“…eloquent and poetic acoustic guitar work.”
“…intelligently crisp and emotionally gritty.”
“Barker’s angular beats and complex polyrthythms are surprisingly soothing…”
“... Matt Thompson’s warm and profoundly resonant bass as he creates a complex and thoughtful solo…."
