What people Are Saying

 

“…An Album That Is Less About Fusing Jazz, Funk, And Other Genres Than It Is About Elevating The Diverse Sounds Of Earth To The Heavens.”

Andy Beta, Pitchfork

“…a record of endless depth and unpredictability.”

Ammar Kalia, The Guardian

“…varied, raw, polychromatic, and addictive.”

Lee Rice Epstein, The Free Jazz Collective

“In essence, this jam-packed album stirs up the vibrancy of life itself. Downtown Castles is a bright parade of humanity, led by Gay as its dazzling grand marshal.”

- Gareth Thompson, All About Jazz

“…a compelling series of vignettes, a survey of the depth and vitality of Chicago’s jazz and improvisational music scenes…”

Marty Garner, Aquarium Drunkard

“It moves from fuzz-caked weirdo-psych to mutant synth-funk to giddy electronics to progressive jazz at a seamless, whiplash-free warp speed.”

- Lars Gotrich, NPR Music
