I received a copy of Karl's latest for review, but someone else ended up
reviewing it so they kept it. Even though I only listened to it once, I can
still give the highest recommendations to *anything* Karl Denson does. In
my opinion, Karl is one of the most talented players in the scene today. To
use the phraseology of the late Miles Davis, Karl is a motherfucker on the
sax and on the flute. If you have any doubt, forget about it. And if you
have a chance to check out the Allstars don't hestitate.

There's my 2 pesos...
