"This album shows that Arturo O'Farrill deserves to be considered among the first rank of modern jazz composers and arrangers. He proves adept at creating ferocious big band charts, choral music and spoken word backdrops with style and imagination. His writing contains a lot of moving parts but he is very skillful at mixing together contrasting melodies and rhythms. This is a strong statement on our crazy present day world and a reflection of both O'Farrill's writing mastery and the power of his orchestra"
