"Originally released in 2006, shortly before he joined John McLaughlin's 4th Dimension Band, this second of Gary Husband's two interpretive solo piano albums finds him reimagining McLaughlin's familiar themes from his Mahavishnu Orchestra oeuvre and other sources with passion and authority. Full of invention and creative fire, A Meeting Of Spirits is an intimate homage to the iconic guitarist, showing a profound understanding of the music".

"Denne musik blev i sin tid udgivet i relativ ubemærkethed i USA, men engelske Edition har remixet, remastereret og genudgivet her 12 år senere. Husband er nok især kendt som trommeslager og pianist i fusionsmusikalske sammenhænge, blandt andet med John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth og Jack Bruce ... Husband har en fantastisk teknik, lynhurtig formuleringsevne, overraskende kreative sidespring, anslag, utrolig "time", harmoniske ideer og talent for at bruge McLaughlins kompositioner som springbræt for rejser ind i anderledes landskaber. Dette er virtuost soloklaver. Originalt i en tid, hvor den del af markedet i årtier har været domineret af Keith Jarrett. En af dette års store klaverudgivelser".
