"(McAll's) ability to craft memorable themes is matched by a feel for the atmospheric... Now established on the intensely competitive New York jazz scene, he plays here with some of the city's leading musicians. His music is utterly contemporary, McAll demonstrating throughout that he is a talented composer as well as gifted keyboardist" - ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
