Yet Ryan manages a similar brass menagerie with what seems to be only one sax." - Andrea Canter, Contributing Editor, Jazz Police "What must be remembered is the half-poignant, half-raging sax voice of Ryan, an instrumentalist whose respectable expertise is at the same level of his commitment to the hard core of the purest free improvisation, and the absolute flexibility of all the involved players, who - be it on a demagnetized cassette or in some more acceptable recording medium - sound like if the future depended on the ability to sideswipe genres, thus remaining delivered from categorical impositions." - Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes |
