Four Stars!!! Jim Cifelli's concept for the nonet is as radical as Miles Davis' Birth Of The Cool nine.... From the stops-out "Go" to the meditative "Prayer", Cifelli's band shows a rainbow of colors.
James Hale Down Beat
You can hear the last 50 years of jazz reflected in this album. ...The kind of album you could play constantly for three days and still find another reason to play it again.
Chuck Graham The Tucson Citizen
Contrary to the title, Cifelli clearly sees the Big Picture with engaging arrangements stressing sumptuous ensemble sound. The jazz nonet's third and best CD swings more effortlessly than ever. Good taste and focus from the whole nine.
Jeff Potter Modern Drummer
The full spectrum of Jim Cifelli's creativity is on display in Tunnel Vision...his colorist skills as an arranger, his obvious talents as a composer and even his unselfishness when it comes to soloing.
Harvey Siders JazzTimes
Tunnel Vision culminates in sounds that are colorful, dynamic, and firmly rooted in the ensemble styles of Miles Davis/Gil Evans, Thad Jones, and Oliver Nelson. The album consistently combines the sheer ferocity of a big band with the improvisational freedom of a small group. This is what good music is all about.
James Rozzi Jazziz
The NY Nonet has also released two other critically acclaimed CD's: Bullet Trane(1998) ans So You Say (2000)
