"This is the fourth CD by the Dream Band and, to my ears, the finest so far. On every track, they create lovely jazz and dance music laden with inspiring hot solos, subtle arranged passages, exuberant collective improvisation, and tender ballads. But the Dream Band isn't self-consciously historical, copying riffs from Vocalion 78s: these musicians love the tradition, but their playing is inventive, the result is timeless."

—Michael Steinman, Professor of English at Nassau Community College in New York, who has written and edited six books, and is a staff writer for Cadence and The Mississippi Rag
