“…Like Miles Davis without a band…”

“The playing is superb. The Berio is a knockout.”

“There is not a lot of modern music written for trumpet and Jon Nelson seems to have cornered a lot of it here with superb pieces by Berio, Feldman and especially the title piece by Stephen Barber in five movements, evoking Mexican folklore and Frank Zappa.

“Besides having an always-solid tone that can range from warm and mellow to sharp and incisive, Nelson has uncanny accuracy in the wildest of passages, and a superior high register. His supporting cast is excellent as well.”
Barry Kilpatrick, American Record Guide
