"COIN COIN, the first half of a larger politically-charged and personal work, is one of those records you didn't know you were waiting for, couldn't expect you wanted or needed to hear. It's already grabbed the attention of both jazz aficionados and its more casual fans, impressing both in equal fashion. This is complex, life-affirming music that's both serious and playful, steeped in tradition yet as highly original and forward-thinking as anything you're likely to hear this year".
