With Mike Lewis on sax, Erik Fratzke on bass and Dave King on drums, the sounds are packed with frenetic creativity and brain-tickling dynamics that energize the intrinsically melodic core. Mr. Eliot, a “Customer Reviewer” from Hopkins, MN, counsels amazon.com readers: “Seriously, if you get a chance, see them live.”
