Press Reviews "With three percussionists, including one very hip timbales player, the little big band walks with a syncopated swagger. No wonder there was dancing going on even during the extended improvs of straw boss Jay Collins. I guess when you rock 'Cold Duck Time' as hard as they do, that's inevitable."(Macnie) Village Voice
