..."A vivid opening salvo for his --Robertson's--new label". Sean Fitzell, All About Jazz New York
..." An auspicious debut for a label with its ears clearly in the right place". Rex Butters, All About Jazz Los Angeles
..."All told, it's a nearly perfect blend of Boulez, Ellington and Hemphill with enough depth to reward the most demanding wind connoisseur"... Michael Anton Parker, Downtown Music-New York
"...Herb Robertson never ceases to amaze me on whatever trumpet or disc he is playing on. Frank Gratkowski is another wonderful musician who seems to keep quite bust playing with numerous bands with Michiel Braam, Gerry Hemingway, Achim Kaufman, Simon Nabatov and Michael Moore. This is Herb's new label, hooray for Herb Robertson! " Bruce Lee Galanter, Downtown Music Gallery
"... The complexity of the music makes it slightly difficult to understand the first time through, but a look into the liner notes explains in more depth some of the inspirations for the music". Lorelei Clarke, Jazzreview.com
"..Se-jouant d'inflexions vocales, d'effets de souffle, réactualisant les sourdines, incisif dans ses réparties, la rare maîtrise d'Herb Robertson offre un champ d'investigation qui embrasse tant le style jungle d'un Bubber Miley que les traits virtuoses des boppers. Avec un vrai sens plastique..." Thierry Lepin- Jazzman France
On "Paralellisms"... ..."And what makes this outing so enticing pertains to the respective instrumentalists’ distinct personas. The trio’s sports a very identifiable sound even by free-jazz standards. As they dig deep from within and by transferring a semblance of consummate exploration and impressionism into the listeners’ living space”. Glenn Astarita, Ejazz News
