"Earthen and defiant, Benjamin carries the old masters in her bones, making such trailblazing barn burners as "Moods" (with Josh Evans' high-flying trumpet circling Benjamin's gravity defying alto while Gould forcefully punches the tune forward) and the quieter but no less defining "Rebirth," not just homages to the past but beacons to the future. So too "Trane," whose whole sound and vibe feel like some newly discovered lost recording from the sessions that produced Impressions (Impulse!, 1963). Speaking of the old masters, Wayne Shorter contemplates life on the brief and squiggly "Supernova." Add the coiling spaciousness of "Basquiat" to the mix and a sure best-of-2023 emerges right before our ears and eyes".

"With Phoenix, Benjamin's fourth studio recording, the alto saxophonist crafts a work themed on positive woman power with the help of producer Terri Lyne Carrington and an amazing cast of contributors ... This one will appear on many best-albums-of-the-year lists by the time we get to the end of 2023. It's just that good".

"The wide sense of adventure on Phoenix reveals Benjamin as ambitious as she is focused, energetic, and perceptive. She inspires her band, guests, and listeners with this set of compelling tunes".
