"Bobby Previte is one of the most under-rated figures in modern music; anything he records is worth hearing. Bump is a terrific group, with the wonderful Marty Ehrlich and the irrepressible Ray Anderson jousting with virtuosity and good humor throughout. Previte's compositional skills are as keen as ever. It is difficult to imagine anyone who has the slightest interest in contemporary jazz, or contemporary music in general, not liking this album."
Stunning, uplifting music!!!

"When I first saw (and heard) Bobby Previte with Bump, four years ago in a jazz festival in Portugal, I was perfectly stunned and elated. I bought the CD immediately after the concert and - believe me - it really lives up to the dynamic, rich, inventive music I just had experienced.
As you all know, it is very difficult to capture on record the dynamics of a great concert. Even without the physical presence of Previte (a wonderful, humourous, imposing stage persona) this CD really honours the unforgetable experience I lived that day.
Bobby Previte is one of the most powerful and inventive musicians in the contemporary jazz scene. Absolutely recommended!!!"
