Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven
supported by 7 fans who also own “Footnote to a Dream (for Miguel Piñero)”
I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice.

Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Ward
supported by 6 fans who also own “Footnote to a Dream (for Miguel Piñero)”
Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale.

Its Trio (sometimes Duo) music changing between space and density. Each musician beautifully develops the sound of his instrument. Just listen to the tone quality of the trumpet,*****.
