“On ‘One Day in Brooklyn’…you’ll hear how creative and adventurous Tulsans, lap steel and all, are redirecting the future of jazz ” - Kansas City Star

“…their new One Day in Brooklyn EP, is a sometimes scrappy, sometimes pastoral new sound reflecting the unit’s Tulsa origins alongside all the coastal urban complexities you can handle.” - The Village Voice

“There’s a rustic foundation to the band now, thanks to the acoustic plunking of Mr. Hayes and the swoony embellishments of Mr. Combs. Where Mr. Mathis excelled in finessing electronic textures, the current group pursues an earthy vigor. On Kirk’s “Laugh for Rory,” Mr. Combs reached for the uplift of a gospel revival; on Mr. Ibrahim’s “Imam” he struck a prayerful vocal timbre. Mr. Hayes was a less assertive presence, but he locked in well with Mr. Raymer, a smartly physical drummer. Mr. Haas steered from the piano, making use of an emphatic attack, a rococo sense of flourish and the trustworthy power of crescendo.” - New York Times
