    Ten, a title that marks a decade's worth of the band's existence, is a typically bold expression of Moran's multifaceted personality and the chemistry between the pianist and his accompanists, both of whom have mastered that elusive skill of bringing sufficient detail to a piece without overshadowing its essential character.
  2. Village Voice
    90
    Ten is easily Bandwagon's finest disc since 2001-when Moran and Osby (in the role of producer) invited sax elder Sam Rivers to guest on Black Stars-it may be because they got out of their own heads somewhat.

    It's all good but really hits its stride on the more frenetic tracks. [Oct 2010, p.108]
