"The most remarkably flexible band of musical renegades to come along since John Zorn’s Naked City."
Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes
"(They) stretch the limits of densely composed and then freely jammed-out music of deep emotional resonance. It’s a crazy-ass circus one minute, a funeral procession another, and everything in between the rest of the time.1
"Think sophisticated little-big-band orchestrators like Charles Mingus and Carla Bley applying themselves to Jewish music."
"It’s a remarkable balancing act of discipline and unabashed noise, technical brilliance and a completely contrary punk/no-wave aesthetic... Imagine Albert Mangelsdorf, Ivo Papasov, Jimi Hendrix, and Ran Blake jamming with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at a Hassidic wedding and you’ll get a piece of the idiosyncratic picture here."
