"Consilience is a very good recording. In particular, Vinson's tune, Stumble Monk really has a spark and Andrew Hill's Black Fire has a great feel. Of course, I am partial to this trio's treatment of Secret Love, which has a good feeling and strong "Poinciana" beat that reminds me of the Ahmad Jamal trio."
======================================
"Valega's trio brings a dynamic, energetic, and fertile approach" to the music and "is to be commended for the quality, seriousness, and performance on this classy recording."

"Valega finds quirky ways of laying down the groove, coloring it with subtle polyrhythms and syncopation." The trio's "familiarity with the material breeds free-flowing interplay especially between the saxophonist and the drummer."
======================================
"Valega’s drumming continually evolves, steady rhythmically but given to frequent tonal shifts which create new environments which his bandmates respond to with snap reflexes."

"A typical set sees them shift between moods, using Anton Denner’s highly expressive and fluent alto and Valega’s and Gary Wang’s (bass) creative and supportive rhythm section to realize compelling and seamless transitions."

"The album is filled with energized rhythms, smooth melodic structures and understated harmonies; many of which are not only surprising, but are are also thought-provoking. There are mind-blowing solos as well as well-rounded augmentations of some of the finest composers and innovators in music. But make no mistake about this recording, The Vinson Valega Trio has put together a CD that provides their own level of concurrence; one that speaks volumes of their adaptabilities as musicians, as well as their ability to express the uniqueness of jazz as an art form."
