"Though the music juxtaposes voices from the past and present, electronics and live instruments-Brown and Sholar suggest that they are simply a conduit for expressing the human condition in turning bad situations into something more bearable. Like its predecessor, Work Songs is another captivating and thought-provoking journey".
Something else!

"Through of grind of manual labor, inspiring music was birthed, a rich storytelling of human struggle, survival and, ultimately, freedom. Jaimeo Brown and Chris Sholar are able to make sense of it all and place it in the context of the present. Because of that, the second Transcendence record tops even the first one".

"Work Songs is confirmation of Brown's potential of becoming one of the great jazz conceptualists of his generation".

"Med call-and-response-sang i bomuldsmarken og i fængselsarbejdet med at knuse skærver er kulissen sat. Disse reallydsoptagelser fungerer som baggrund for en heftig, sej musik, der blander rock, blues, jazz, sågar japansk musik og elektronika i forskellige doser. Denne hybridmusik, uden bas, men med Browns trommer og Chris Sholars guitar i fokus sammen med fede, koncentrerede saxsoli af Jaleel Shaw og JD Allen virker på sine helt egne præmisser godt".
