"Materialet er labyrintisk, rummer elementer af funk, rock og samba og præsenteres fuldstændig ublokeret og vitalt af kapaciteter som Mike Stern, George Whitty, Ada Rovatti, Will Lee og danske Chris Minh Doky m.fl. Ikke alle de gamle sidemen er med, men konturerne for en reunion er på plads. Og dén - og især kapelmesteren selv - imponerer".

"Brecker Brothers 2013 isn't Brecker Brothers of the '70s or '90s, nor does it need to be; instead, it's a modern update that, beyond reviving the memory of Randy's departed brother and the music they innovated together, proves that downtown funk still has relevance in the 21st Century".
"Though saxophonist Michael Brecker passed away in 2007, his brother, trumpeter Randy Brecker, keeps the jazz-funk fusion of the Brecker Brothers alive with the Brecker Brothers Reunion Band. While not a strict reunion of the original ensemble, the band does feature many of the players who have performed with the Brecker Brothers over the years".
