"Even if you're really into sax players, like I am, you've probably never heard of this guy Dave McMurray. He's been a sideman for a long list of artists like BB King, The Rolling Stones, Herbie Hancock and even Bootsy Collins. This album, with all of the songs between 4-5 minutes, has him in essentially a trio setting with Ibrahim Jones/b or Ron Otis-Jeff Canady/dr. Let me tell you something, THIS GUY IS AN ANIMAL!! ... Album of the year?".

"On Music Is Life, McMurray steps out as a leader on his Blue Note debut. It's no accident that he wound up on one of the greatest jazz labels in the world. He and Blue Note President Don Was are fellow Detroit natives and have a long musical history together; McMurray was a member of Was' terrific band from the '80s, Was (Not Was). Music Is Life comes steeped with all the groove dedication and no-nonsense melodicism that has made McMurray a cult hero around the Detroit music scene ... Music Is Life is something we all can use right now, a feel-good, groove-driven, pop record with the guts to be damn good jazz, too".
