Reception
In JazzTimes, Mike Joyce said "Even pianist George Cables’ most devoted followers are apt to be surprised by this collection of original compositions-not so much by the quality of the writing, as Cables’ credentials are unassailable, but by the freshness, appeal and promise heard in this new collaboration with singer and lyricist Sarah Elizabeth Charles. In Charles, Cables has found a musical soulmate who is profoundly attuned to his repertoire and playing".[3]

gollark: We can build 1/7th of a giant laser... but where...
gollark: Neat.
gollark: We should do more mining.
gollark: Hmm. How many, er, mineral units will a laser array big enough to decelerate the mission fast enough cost?
