“Talk about a reality check on so many levels. What kind of balls does it take to record a double album of all original jazz in four days and make it sound like a classic Bluenote, World Pacific or Verve date? Someone must have grown up eating Rudy Van Gelder sessions for breakfast to absorb this kind of vibe. Chako straddles being familiar and unique in the same interval with such style that you're sure you've been here before but you know you haven't. This is simply a delightful heaping helping of cool jazz that moves and grooves and is sure to win you over before the first track is over. Why is this guy recording for his own label? You put the machine behind this cat and you could crash Amazon's servers.” - Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap

"...high quality ensemble playing and soloing... the recording/mix are superior, and make listening to Chako`s compelling performance all the more enjoyable." - Jazz Improv Magazine, USA

"...tight, flowing sextet, powered by the rhythms from Greg’s guitar... varied, with splashes of Latin American music, Indian, and other world cultures complementing the swinging, straight-a-head mainstream adventure!" - Cadence Magazine, New York
