REVIEWS:

"Ferocious and intoxicating music." (Chris May - All About Jazz)

"In the hands of Davis, Biro and Smith Mysteries of the Revolution is a unique combination of musical genres that avoids any trappings of excess, performed with aplomb by a trio that has nothing to prove but plenty to say." (John Melman - Abstract Logix)

"...a very fresh take on an area of modern jazz that had been all but abandoned. There are so many sonic diversions on this record that a complete listing would truly be exhausting. You will turn this up VERY loud." (Mark Saleski - BC Magazine)

"...Oscar Wilde on acid." (Time Out)

"The orchestration is impressive in its vast scope... terrific funk-inspired work" (JazzReview.com)

"This is an outstanding album, particularly for those who enjoy keyboard-driven groove jazz with a psychedelic flavor." (wmshax)
