Album Notes

"Treseler is a bonafide big player in the arena of straight-ahead jazz who provides just enough of other ingredients to keep it all fascinating and fresh. . .
There's about as much reflective expression and substance as you could want in such a pristine offering. This is a true study in serious jazz."

-Ronald Jackson, jazzreview.com

"A terrific debut and compelling musical statement"

-Edward Blanco, ejazznews.com
