Review Briefs for Bullet Trane:

This is a most refreshing recording...The more I hear this disc, the more pleased I am, and that is the mark of a truly great recording. It's hard to believe this is their debut...This one's a keeper.
Michael Nastos: Cadence Magazine, Ann Arbor News

The truth is, there isn't anything about Bullet Trane that I didn't thoroughly admire and enjoy... nothing on this disc misses the mark.
Jack Bowers: Jazz Now Magazine

The best jazz evokes a wide range of emotions, and Jim Cifelli's New York Nonet is an example of just how good it can get. Bullet Trane is a joy to the ear, a superb set of imaginative and evocative playing by some of New York's finest jazz musicians.
