Jun 11, 2012The themes are typical Metheny: sensuous Latin grooves, synth-guitar fusion, folksy ballads, a good deal of jazz swing – and the rhythm section is mindboggling, not to mention beautifully recorded.

MojoJul 19, 2012Unity Band is now a scintillating platform for Metheny's fretboard wizardry. [Aug 2012, p/94]

Jun 12, 2012Metheny and [sax player, Chris] Potter are free to sprint and they do; both dazzle with their lyric invention and knotty, imaginative, nearly boppish solos. The two front-line players are surely at their best in one another's company.
