A rich, heavy groove composed of drums, conga drums and lovely, rich bass lopes along like a big black panther. Rubyana plays flute at times like a silk sheet falling in slow motion. There is something exotic, threatening, moody about the atmosphere here. The effect is kaleidoscopic. This music is drenched in the blues. Rubyana's flute is louder and more expressive, flaring up like a firestorm. - All About Jazz
