A new review of the album:
Le guitariste français Jean Chaumont est installé aux États-Unis depuis 2014. Pour cet album il réunit un quintet efficace dans lequel on remarque le batteur Rudy Royston. Musique intéressante, jeu de guitare travaillé et une action militante avec ce disque dont les bénéfices de la vente aideront à financer des forages de puits au Malawi.

A review from Midwest record just came in:
Any time you sneak Tierney Sutton into the liner notes, you’ve already caught our attention and this jazz guitar set well deserves attention. With a vibe that feels like it came from the lighter side of fusion, this transplanted Frenchman knows the groove well and delivers it at it’s finest. Tasty stuff that modern guitar fans will recognize as hot stuff by a rising star, this set invites you to get on board now. Well done.

A first review in parrallel with the duo album of Nelson Veras & Jonathan Kreisberg just came out on All about Jazz.
An extract:
In short, it’s fusion for jazzbos skeptical of the genre and it works beautifully. Chaumont’s melodies are catchy, the arrangements have plenty of air, and everyone solos and performs at a high level. Rudy Royston’s driven and technical but always musical drumming is a special treat in this context.
After 27 hours of editing and mixing spread over the last 3 months, we are finally ready for the last little polishing, the mastering! Most of the time we were just the two of us with Dave, Enoch joined us for the first roll of the mix and it was useful: he had plenty of ideas for the spatialization of the band and the frequency processing of the instruments.
We had some fun sometimes:
