” …. Drummer Derrek Phillips ignites the opening take of “Hieroglyphics,” and he and bassist Jones provide sensitive backing for Ban and Sylvester to shimmer on “Gentle Shifts Rain” and “Silence.” Sylvester is a gorgeously melodic player whose tone can be light as a feather on ballads, particularly on the delicate “For Giuffre” ….In addition to Ban’s pairing with Alex Harding and his work with Asymmetry, his bio indicates several other active projects and more recordings in the works. He’s a prolific composer, generous with his sidemen and not content simply to work again and again with the same lineup. We should be thankful for Lucian Ban’s abundant imagination.
