“A consistently captivating listen from start to finish, and an album that deserves to place all the artists involved on the radar of listeners outside of Canada, but especially Caron who, while enjoying some international acclaim (especially in Europe), clearly deserves to be a better-known name south of the border—and not just to fans of high-energy fusion.” — All About Jazz

From the opening notes of a Latin-flavored tribute to jazz saxophonist Joe Henderson through a moving tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this is a soulful jazz recording! Producer Kenny M dubs this the best Chip Shelton release in 10 years. The music is steeped in feeling and imbued with memories right from the opener. Features antique tenor and soprano saxes added to Shelton’s usual end-blown flute and piccolo. Includes various members of Shelton’s East Coast working band, PeaceTime.

“A force to be reckoned with in the jazz world.” — Dr. Nick, Soul Street, XM Satellite Radio “Chip Shelton … has mastered his instrument and plays with authority in many of his solos.” — Cadence
