« Weekly MP3 (6/19/07): Live@147, NYC - "Lush Life" | Main | Live Earth! Live Music! Save the Planet! »

Although not swayed by the activist tie-in with the CD, Edward Blanco at ejazznews.com loved the CD!

The music sizzles from the opening track "Luftmenschen," and gets better with the following title track only to be upstaged by the best cut on the album, "Fog." This trio of tunes is a delight to hear and provide a good portion of the meaty tracks on this album. All contain expressive solos from Stafford, Bacas on the tenor and Denner on a dynamic and torrid alto journey in "Fog," Not lost here is the formidable drumming prowess of the leader as he leads the music through out.

An album of unquestioned elegance, spunk and rich melodies, Awake is an engaging collection of music bound to capture your attention, hold your interest and never, never put you to sleep. Setting politics aside, this is one album that gets my vote!
