“Because he is so well known for his books on polyrhythms, some assume that polyrhythms are all he does. But as this album demonstrates, they are only one of the spices in his percussive stew. The album demonstrates Magadini’s full spectrum od colors and moods. He uses brushes for delicate shadings on ballads as well as to propel a fast tempo, as he does on Giant Steps. His Latin spices are also effective, and his solos are well constructed and downright memorable.” – Richard Egert
