“A powerful session recorded in Halifax by the Toronto-based tenor is his best yet…MacDonald’s third outing as a leader pinpoints his fervour and fire, insistent search for new sounds and hard yet opulent tone.” Geoff Chapman – THE TORONTO STAR
“…this is a strong, hard bop date that finds Kirk MacDonald (a player who deserves to be much better known) in prime form.” Scott Yanow – THE JAZZ REPORT
