“Meckler, a fine trumpeter in many contexts, is not only a wise bandleader but an inventive composer as well, guaranteeing fresh repertoire for such fine soloists as the captivating saxophonist Nelson Devereaux.” – JazzPolice.com“Stunning, stunning experience! I’ve heard a lot and this is one of the rare occasions. The leadership is absolutely outstanding. The literature in that book, just superior! I’ve had good experiences – this is one in two, three or four.” – Leigh Kamman (retired host of MPR’s “The Jazz Image”)
