" This music is just plain beautiful! I was so pleasantly surprised by this album, with its haunting gentle melodies ,superb musicanship and composition that I have featured several tracks from it on my national jazz program which is broadcast weekly across Australia via the Community Radio Network to over 120 stations. I loved the piano of Scott Earl Holman and the subtle techniques that he and the percussion player (Rusty Jones) employ throughout the album."Noble One " is a favourite as is "The Smile" but I love the whole album, each and every track! I will continue to feature tracks from this little gem forever on the program.... Barry O'Sullivan Producer/Presenter of "A Jazz Hour"
