INFORMATION
O’Connell and company are more than great players sharing space on a CD. Rather, they comprise an agile and sentient ensemble with an uncanny ability to shift seamlessly between Latin Jazz and swing, each exceptional soloist soars with such fluid harmonic and rhythmic support. The result is this collection of truly great performances, one track better than the next.

PRESS REVIEWS
"O'Connell is een precies articulerende instrumentalist, ook in soms zeer snelle stukken. de band heeft een stevige, agressieve sound dankzij het Blakey-achtige drumwerk van Steve Berrios. Een hardbop-produktie met kloten die bijvoorbeeld Blakey- en Adderleyliefhebbers zal aanspreken." Ken Vos Jazzism Winter 2011
"O'Connell is a precisely articulated instrumentalist, even in some very fast passages. The band has a strong, aggressive sound with the Art Blakey-like drumming from Steve Berrios. A bop-production with balls that will appeal the Blakey- and Adderley lovers." Ken Vos Jazzism Winter 2011
"Weinig anders is als compositorisch arresteren, maar laat ons met de les, dat wanneer men wordt opgeworpen op de standaarden, die vaak is waar men speelt met het soort van inventiviteit en expressie die is moeilijk om te toveren in eenvoudige blazen secties." Robert L. Doerschuk - Downbeat - April 2011
"Little else is as compositionally arresting, however, leaving us with the lesson that when one is raised on the standards, that's often where one plays with the kind of inventiveness and expression that's hard to conjure in simple blowing sections." Robert L. Doerschuk - Downbeat - April 2011
