Conference Call performs original compositions by all members of the quartet and includes stylistic elements that range from the traditional and the romantic to the extremely avant garde, from blues to tango to a 12-tone row.
"Conference Call swings with a gleeful impetuosity that's hard if not impossible to dislike. Kinda sounds like what the late '60s Miles Davis Band might have become had they stayed the course." - JazzTimes Magazine (2004)
"Conference Call is making some amazing music under everybody's radar." Cadence Magazine (2004)
