    Yes, the references are abundant--in an homage, they're supposed to be. Wobble employs them with a curator's taste; his skill as a bandleader creates space for disparate tongues to communicate before evolving into a different musical language--his own. Everything Is NoThing is a monster.

    Producer Youth has described the record as Wobble’s “Miles Davis opus” and while that’s maybe a mite fanciful, it’s certainly a courageous contemporary fusion of afro-beat, jazz and polyrhythmic funk.

    The result is an assured, mostly instrumental album with freeform jazz as its guiding imperative. [Oct 2016, p.40]

    While Everything Is No Thing isn’t going to rewrite Jah Wobble’s future to any great extent, it will probably help seal a positive reputation within the jazz-inclined circles of worldbeat music.

    Another year, another Jah Wobble album knocked out with a slew of collaborators and little interest in much, you suspect, beyond the immediate entertainment of its participants. [Sep 2016, p.114]
