Sounds Like: "Just the right measure of restraint and rip, mixed with homage and innovation...The electric bass debut of 2004." -Phil Dipietro, AllAboutJazz.com......."Offering up his sophisticated support and blowing prowess on the opening "Orange", Jenkins enlists Fiuczynski for the dark, exploratory "Thought Police", slaps scarily on "Zeta Reticuli" (featuring saxophonist Sam Kininger from Soulive), goes chordal and global on "Merkaba", and nods to the groove Gods on a feel-rich cover of Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof". " -Chris Jisi, Bass Player Magazine. January 2005 issue......."Among up and coming bass players, few have the kind of raw power, deep pocket and melodic lyricism that Steve Jenkins has." -David "Fuze" Fiuczynski (guitar player extraordinaire, Me'shell N'degeocello, Screaming Headless Torsos, Hasidic New Wave)........."One of the modern day masters of bass and I have no doubt that he will be on the scene for along time to come" -David Dyson (world-reknowned bassist for Me'Shell N'degeocello, Tim Hagans, Jonathan Butler, Pieces of a Dream)........... "The sky's the limit"-Bass Guitar Magazine.........."Jenkins augments his considerable chops with a cool vision"-Bill Milkowski, Jazziz Magazine
