"[The Collected Unconscious was] amazing...one of the two or three best New York concerts of the year...lush, majestic power...effortlessly and imaginatively bridging the gap between Cuba and Ethiopia...the shifting textures and voicing of these new compositions are equal to anything Gil Evans ever came up with."    lucidculture.com
