“There’s a fine indiscipline to Harvey’s big band writing. Ominous horror film riffs sit comfortably alongside soaring album rock guitar solos, urgent, cop show horn fanfares and creamy unison sax section passages straight out of the Thad Jones – Mel Lewis Orchestra’s book. It’s a fridge raid omelet of sounds held together by the audaciousness of Harvey’s conception and the joy with which his players bring it to life:” – John Chacona of All About Jazz
