3rd June 2013: One day before his worldwide release, veteran drummer Jeff Williams’ The Listener continues to shine with 4 Star review in Guardian + glowing showing in All About Jazz

“The Listener’s cutting-edge expertise and unwavering emphasis on improvisation makes this thoroughly contemporary music…It’s a set of hot-and-cool Ornette Colemanesque themes, hip postbop and slow-burn reflections performed, on this live recording, by Williams’ New York quartet.”
4 Stars, The Guardian
“The Listener is not merely a throwback to Coleman in the way that the Black Crowes is to the Faces and Rolling Stones; rather it is the acknowledgement and development of an idea after the white-heat of its creation has cooled…Exceptional sonics and the creative camaraderie”
