"AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO RELAY ALL KINDS OF ANECDOTES ABOUT THE CHALLENGES STEVE HOFFMAN AND KEVIN GRAY ENCOUNTER DURING THE MASTERING SESSIONS, I WITNESS NONE. THESE BOYS KNOW THE SOUND OF THE FACILITY AND THE VAN GELDER MASTERS LIKE THE BACKS OF THEIR HANDS...BACK HOME A MONTH LATER, I UNPACK SOME TEST PRESSINGS FROM CHAD KASSEM (OWNER ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS, ACOUSTIC SOUNDS, QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS) HAS SENT ME... I HEAR THE MOST REALISTIC-SOUNDING DRUMS EVER REPRODUCED BY MY SYSTEM. IT'S AS THOUGH I'M SITTING AT THE POINT OF CREATION, EXPERIENCING THE SAME HIGH THAT BROUGHT SUCH GIFTED MUSICIANS TOGETHER AS ONE. STEVE HOFFMAN, KEVIN GRAY, CHAD KASSEM, AND DON MACINNIS HAVE DONE RUDY VAN GELDER AND HIS BLUE NOTE ARTISTS PROUD."--JASON VICTOR SERINUS, STEREOPHILE, APRIL 2008

UNIQUE IN GREEN'S DISCOGRAPHY FOR ITS RELAXED, LENGTHY PERFORMANCES AND ALMOSY DREAM-LIKE LYRICISM, THIS BLUE NOTE CLASSIC COULD WELL BE CALLED "BALLADS FOR THE AGES".
