"Trombonist, composer and producer Justin Thurgur steps into the limelight with this effervescent offering awash with great horns and polyrhythms. Opener "Be A Little Wiser" fronted by the lively Sahra Gure exemplifies this magnificently, featuring Afro reggae blessedness with a superb jazzy guitar solo and Thurgur's slide taking centre stage. Lush Latin loveliness gets a look in too, with the Fania-inspired "The Reeducation Of Mr Otheralisation" adding spice and excitement to proceedings and glued together with a stonking montuno, courtesy of Afrobeat heavyweight Dele Sosimi. Talking about Afrobeat, the seductive "How It Is" is a highlight, as it switches moods subtly. That mood gets deeper with "Woman", fronted by the smokey-sounding Jade Pybus - both these guest female vocalists are so distinctive. A little spiritual jazz with funkified groove plateau [comes] in the shape of "The Reality Of Reality" ... Essentially, this album has a real touch of class".
