Navigation offers an exhilarating chase of a listen. Each track is something of a thicket that one has to navigate as well, but that is the thrill of it, particularly because the playing is so responsive to what the ensemble is inventing and discovering. This is freeing jazz, and as we say in ATL, I appreciate you. jly54

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
