"[St. Nick's Pub in Harlem is where] visiting European trombonist Paul Zauner first heard singer Mansur Scott and, in recent years, Donald Smith and Gregory Porter. Duly impressed, he formulated a plan to record the three singers with his Blue Brass group back home in Lower Austria. The session took place in mid-2012, just as Porter's career was taking off in a big way behind his second album, Be Good. As a presentation of three worthy singers - two of them underappreciated then and now - this album fares well. Porter, Smith and Scott are the genuine article, jazz for listeners who value soul and truth-telling as much as technical prowess".
