eh they are strong... I like them all. Even though I'm not a fan of odd time signatures, when they are so well coordinated and played, they amuse me. They have a beautiful conception of the whole. The only limit, from a compositional point of view, but it is a characteristic of all music based on grooves, is that there isn't real development, but perhaps here it isn't even necessary... thanks for sharing

Really good. It's hard to stay still and not get carried away by their music

They are good, one of the keyboardists is insane (I think it's Cory Henry), but, aside from the observations made by Crisantemi, which I agree with, I am amazed by the fact that an instrumental group has all this success: ultimately, they are virtuosos, but there are many musicians at that level and beyond, and above all they are not innovators; in fusion, funk, GRP environments and various others, I have heard many similar things for almost 20 years, and from a rhythmic point of view, the new generations in New York are light years ahead. That doesn't change the fact that they are very fun and have plenty of groove.

Have you heard the piece with Lala Hathaway singing and doing multiple sounds?

In my opinion, even if the musical ideas are not particularly revolutionary, the musicians are good, they definitely know how to play together and the arrangements are very well studied
