"Mazurek, Taylor, and Parker have collectively worked on dozens of projects and their telepathy is long-established. Johnson is an excellent, if somewhat understated addition, and his piano work shines here. Parker's contributions to Good Days can't be applauded enough; whether complex or simple, his playing is always meaningful. Chicago Underground releases are always welcome; this one is a superior example of what maturity and openness can net".

"A fantastic step in the continuing evolution of the "Chicago Underground" project of trumpeter Rob Mazurek and drummer Chad Taylor - soaring out here in a set that's full of spiritual energy and a level of imagination that even surpasses their classic recordings from years ago!".

"Through about a dozen previous albums and incarnations as a duo, trio, quartet and orchestra, Mazurek and drummer Chad Taylor have been the core members of The Chicago Underground ... Rooted in post-bop jazz, their work has encompassed electro-acoustic composition, free-improvisation and classic minimalism ... Parker's pop influence yields several pithy, melodically direct compositions, which balance the polyrhythmic intricacy of a pair of Taylor-led tracks. But the most emotionally compelling performance is "Strange Wing," on which a series of eerie, winding solos hover over a loosely swinging groove".
