“No self-respecting jazz club would pass on the opportunity to book a Valentine’s Day gig with this band — whose Grammy nominated album, The Subject Tonight Is Love, examines the titular phenomenon through diverse song. Flitting from standards to adaptations of the Sufi poet Hafiz to heartfelt McGarry originals, the triumvirate ponders age-old mysteries with delicacy and not a little spunk." ~ The New Yorker
