“In reality, the music of Alchemy Sound Project is much better heard than described since a great deal takes place in a subtle, tasteful, and thoughtful manner. The music, which is never obvious, is easy to enjoy and recommended.”

“Point of the Story, the new album by Jeff Shirley, is impeccably tasteful.
It’s a shock, consequently, when a bit of grit is introduced on the eleventh track.
“Gerkin’s Sister Temple” adds six-minutes of left-of-center edginess to a 75-minute document that otherwise glides right down the center of jazz’s mainstream lane.”
