More than that, though, this quintet draws on the individual talents of its members to form a series of strong textures. While the bandmembers have extended solos and explorations, there's a tendency in the compositions (all penned primarily by the Miley brothers, James and Jeff, on guitar and piano respectively) for the instruments to move on parallel, and sometimes unison, melodic lines. The executions are all worthy, but it's the intrigue created in this album that really sets the group up for musical success. Professional Reviews: JazzTimes (p.69) - "Thoughtful, provocative fare....They take a cleansing breath on the dramatic closer, 'One.'"
