about

"They couple gale-force collective energy and confidence to startlingly original material (most by rising-star leader Ben ... more Cottrell) that acknowledges big-band traditions while radically modernising them”

John Fordham, The Guardian

"A glorious, full-bloodied set demonstrating all that’s good about big band jazz. The big band tradition is alive and well and living in Manchester"
