notes
"This is exceptionally beautiful music played by wonderful musicians
displaying a maturity way beyond their years. I'm impressed!"
-- Maria Schneider
"Ike Sturm's 'Spirit' is, to my ears, a deeply touching piece of music. In
the often harsh world that we live in today, it is refreshing to hear
jazz-based music that is so open and vulnerable."
-- John Hollenbeck

Deeply absorbing. Play it alone or else no noise please.
author: Joan LavoipierreThis is deeply absorbing music, superbly well crafted. It also clever enough to not to show it in ways that would break the mood and flow. It does flow too, whirling your thoughts away. Play it alone or else just tell everyone else to be quiet.
- author: Tamara Turner, CD Baby
A soft hum rumbles through the pillars of these casual tracks of jazz fusion mixed with a dash of intelligent pop. Drawing from stylistic colors reminiscent of Sting, Pat Metheny and Dave Holland, this group together sends out gorgeous landscapes of contemplative, introspective, rainy-day jazz fusion. But don't think for a minute that these tunes park themselves in one spot and hunker down. These matured, cozy tracks each have an internal momentum; they extend and explore outwardly with melodic lines that reach and question, rhythms that slowly burrow into the earth and harmonies that curl and unfold with everchanging color.
