Natura Naturans Review

Natura Naturans got a nice review by Seth Watter in the most recent issue of The New York City Jazz Record:

100 under 40

i was very happy to be included on this list. lists are funny and always incomplete. but this is an interesting assemblage for sure of some distinctive musical voices.
