Review of the pw3 CD in the December '98 issue of Cadence by Jerome Wilson 
"As you can see there is no one named "Perry Weissman" in this group and 
it's a five piece, not a trio. That is your first clue we aren't among 
straight arrow hardboppers here. This band actually walks the same wacko 
jazz-rock fringe as groups like the Lounge Lizards, the NRG Ensemble and 
the Jazz Passengers but in a quieter way. This group contrasts a lot of 
chunky guitar riffing with broad trombone and comes out sounding like 
Roswell Rudd playing with the Ventures. It's an odd combination but 
these musicians sound like they know what they are doing. "Soft Rock" 
veers close to lounge music with its tightly massed guitars but added 
layers of roller rink organ make the piece charmingly oddball. "Light 
Bubble" with extended flute and trombone solos comes close to 
conventional Jazz but "Hale-Bopp", almost a twist variation on the 
"Twilight Zone" theme, takes it back out again. Your can actually notice Thelonious 
Monk as an influence on this goofiness. "Wooden Nickel" is a rickety 
dance tune based on the chords of "Well you Needn't" and they actually 
do "Epistrophy" in a raw and sweaty version with wobbly guitar all over 
the place. This ramshackle surf-punk-Dixieland Jazz is actually 
something new and a lot 
of fun."
