"The originals and covers are inspired by the intrigue of film noir soundtracks together with West Coast landscapes and cityscapes. The quartet pays due respect to the past, but this is interactive contemporary jazz full of purposeful musical excerpts that play well for today".

"On 2023's The Winds of Change, Billy Childs embraces a thrilling, deeply sophisticated post-bop sound that evokes his work from the early '70s and '80s with artists like Freddie Hubbard and J.J. Johnson ... Childs leads a small group, this time a veritable all-star ensemble featuring trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Brian Blade. Together, they delve into a mix of originals and covers inspired by Childs' longtime passion for film music, especially the moody West Coast film noir, neo-noir, and hard-boiled soundtracks associated with composers like Jerry Goldsmith, Michel Legrand, and Bernard Herrmann. The opening "The Great Western Loop" (...) is a kinetic, harmonically rich composition that wouldn't sound out of place on any of Freddie Hubbard's fusion-influenced albums".

"'The Winds of Change' is a post-bop album of beautiful, vibrant jazz where each song is a deep current on those same winds of change. Childs' classical music leanings are in full evidence on this recording. Those leanings give Childs' compositions and piano playing a concerto-like presence ... Listening to this album is akin to taking a voyage on its titular winds of change with no destination, save for its music. The four musicians on the album sound bigger and larger than their quartet would propose ... 'The Winds of Change' is jazz to consider while it moves you".

"There are no "mean streets" clichés, no tough-guy posing or soft-center reveals. These are brilliant, self-contained compositions that also lend themselves perfectly to the modern jazz idiom. Only Billy Childs could have pulled this off with such intelligence and certainty of vision".
