'Philosophies' is a strong album, full of infectious grooves and captivating vocal harmonies.

Anticipation for the new album is at fever pitch, because Nicky’s intimate lyricism and soulful delivery strikes a chord in the hearts of listeners.

'120' is “gorgeously delicious.” Daniel Biro’s musical wizardry amalgamates complex layers of sonic tessellations and gravity-defying textures into pure elegance. This is ambient music as it should be - immanent and transcendent, yet revelatory. It’s simply sublime.

'Hidden Dimensions' defines the analogous aesthetic doctrine that says the tighter the discipline of an art form, the more subjective the criteria of taste. In other words, if you’re into experimental, state-of-the-art sonic manipulation, then you will enjoy this album.

'Roadmaps' is excellent and so cool, it’s almost frosty. The slightly experimental melodies challenge rather than repel, simply because of their innovative flow and glossy tones. If you’re into polished jazz, Jan Sturiale’s 'Roadmaps' is for you.

'Head Above Tide' lacks structure. Lank themes, disproportionate rhythms, and unusual harmonic mannerisms come across as perplexing conglomerations of theorizing discords. The music is pensive and melancholy, dry and lifeless, probably because it’s too complex, too intricate, and too intellectual.

Vapeism has it going on! The fusion melodies shimmer with persuasive colors, while the musicianship balances between tender intimacy and erupting atomic explosions. If you’re into stylish fusion jazz, don’t miss 'Vaped Out Vol. 1.'

There is a poetic lyricism in Hilton's arrangements that pairs jazz with classic symphonies.

'Thank You for the Music' is stellar, as it imparts a stylish, imaginative overview of the greatest names and stylistic nuances of jazz.

'Brand New Shoes' unleashes Josh Pfeiffer's velvety baritone to excellent effect.
