Of the band, reviewers have said: "An electrifying, push-the-limits performance style… A tight and enormously talented trio." (Jazz Times Magazine), "Charged Particles is definitely dazzling." (Jazz and Blues Report), "Fresh, energized jazz that showcases the trio's individual technical mastery as well as a cooperative, refined approach to the art form." (Jazz News Magazine), and "Tight interplay was the watchword as the threesome took difficult fusion themes and applied its own twists with spark and personal flair." (Los Angeles Times). Downbeat Magazine called the band "something special" and "inventive, invigorating, mesmerizing, beautiful, virtuosic, and lyrical." LA Jazz Scene said that "all three rhythm section members bring excitement and creativity to the bandstand."

The band recently sold out Ronnie Scott's (in London) and Birdland (in New York City) with tenor saxophonist Tod Dickow and world class trumpeter, Randy Brecker, playing new arrangements of compositions by the late great jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker on the CD, "Live at the Baked Potato!" (Summit Records).

The CD was named among the best 2021 jazz releases in JazzTimes Magazine, Jazzwise Magazine, the San Jose Mercury News, the Jazz Journalists Association, the 16th Annual Jazz Critics Poll, Glide Magazine, Nippertown Magazine, and more publications. Randy Brecker said the recording is "smoking and intense from beginning to end". Bill Milkowski, author of Michael Brecker's biography, said the record is "staggering in its authenticity." Downbeat Magazine said that the record features "exciting, satisfying stuff".

In a concert review, Downbeat Magazine called the quartet "something special" and "inventive, invigorating, mesmerizing, beautiful, virtuosic, and lyrical." Nippertown Magazine said the quartet's performance at the Albany Riverfront Jazz Festival in New York was "often thrilling" and "the peak set of the day". The Oxford Times said their performance at the Spin Jazz Club (in the U.K.) was "brilliant".

At this performance, the quartet will play a mixture of their original funky Latin jazz and some of Brecker's compositions. This will be an evening of drama, emotions, surprise, and virtuosity.
