Bud Kopman (All About Jazz)
There is something uniquely part of American jazz at work here as well. The band's interplay is extremely tight, and the arrangements are full of drama. An enormous amount of energy is on one hand tightly controlled and on the other free to roam. The fact that folk music tends to be harmonically static is artfully disguised by the arrangements and the varying instrumentation both within and between tracks (...) The authenticity of the roots of their music is never in question. The emotions they explore on this very live studio recording range from euphoria to pathos, from mystery to wide-eyed innocence, communicated directly from their hearts to yours. Quartet is enjoyable on many levels, and highly recommended.
