“Mike Westbrook’s music never ceases to surprise, shock and delight in equal measure.” Nick Lea Jazz Views
“What makes the album particularly distinctive are Kate’s singing, - as eloquent, audacious,, expressionist and versatile as ever- and that idiosyncratic inclusion of Street’s accordion. A masterstroke.” Geoff Andrew, Notes and Observations
