"A lush, blue-washed version of chamber jazz. The original compositions and arrangements are elegantly poised and, with a sound suspended somewhere between flugelhorn and trombone, Rattigan's playing is ravishing."
★★★★ BBC Music Magazine

"A haunting, romantic, often softly swinging collection of ten songlike pieces – coolly segueing the vaporous strings swirls of the Tear Quartet with Nikki Iles’ patiently-spun, delicately-struck solos, Michael Janisch’s rugged walking lines and graceful bowed sound, and James Maddren‘s fast moving ingenuity."
John Fordham for LondonJazz

“Rattigan’s mastery of his instrument never in doubt… Rather pleasingly, he has aligned himself to the nimble pianisms and clever incursions of pianist Iles supported by Janisch and Maddren, their efforts bolster by the impeccable playing of the Tear Quartet.”
