"...elegantly crafted and sharply executed, full of fluid lines and gorgeous changes, built with an architecture that is strong yet bendable..."
--Richard Moule, Signal To Noise

"...orderly and inventive pieces...real compositions for the players to explore..."--Phillip McNally, Cadence

"Herculaneum is a rare entity: a new group that seemingly arrives from nowhere, fully formed with its own sound...Orange Blossom is one of the finest albums by an up-and-coming ensemble one is likely to hear this year." --Troy Collins, All About Jazz

"...a fantastically versatile listening experience..."--Mike Breen, Cincinnati City Beat

"...melodically rich improvisations move freely over the rhythms like they're bouncing on a trampoline....on the up-tempo stuff they approach a Mingus-like ebullience."--Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
