Great CD, just got this:

In the few short weeks since LINES OF COLOR was released, we have already received rave reviews from the critics! Below are a few select quotes, but if you are interested in reading the full reviews, please click here for a complete list of quotes and articles.
"Lines Of Color is nothing short ofexhilarating."
- Frank Alkyer, DOWNBEAT, Editor's Pick (March 2015)

"The gorgeous lilt of Evans' still startlingoriginal arrangements for horns is preserved, not in the aspic of academia butin the living, breathing performances of a group of New York's finest musicianssuch as Evans might have selected himself."
- Cormac Larkin, THE IRISH TIMES (4 stars)

"The orchestra's big sound is made unimposing by itsabundance of warmth. An amazing album that repeatedly provides a sense ofliftoff."
- Dave Sumner, BIRD IS THE WORM
