On this recording, Bruce Ditmas: What If, Jazz drummer Bruce Ditmas has (as geniuses as diverse as Gil Evans, the Brecker Brothers, Paul Bley, Pat Metheny, & Barbara Streisand can attest) "live time": you just can't sit still when he plays the drums. His debut as a leader, this album features the acclaimed drummer alongside John Abercrombie (guitar), Paul Bley (piano/synth), Dominic Richards (bass), & Sam Rivers (saxophone), creating music that is both is forward-looking and respectful to every Jazz epoch.

but well thought-out music." - Buffalo News
