“Honing a hybrid of freewheeling post-bop and social commentary, abetted by judicious dollops of funk, fusion, spoken word, clave and polyrhythmic percussion…Branker incorporates these elements in broad, bold strokes, like a muralist. He has yet to make a bad record” – JazzTimes
"Anthony Branker is crafting some of today's finest compositions." - KEN FRANCKLING, ALL ABOUT JAZZ
"It is rare for me to be impressed by an album to this extent...Anthony Branker's compositions are luxuriously packaged in both classical and jazz forms, blending and intermingling to the point of no longer knowing what planet we are on, except for that of an exceptional composer, in front of whom one can feel small, due to the grandeur of his work. Musical beauty in the service of thought..." - PARIS MOVE
