”An impressive live recording at the Bimhuis full of appealing melodies in a cinematic ambiance starring soloist Chris Cheek who worked
with big names like Charlie Haden, Bill Frisell and Brad Mehldau. The band finishes the album with Kleijn’s sublime composition “No More Tango”.

“Chris Cheek is an ideal addition to the very own musical world of Wild Man Conspiracy.
on the edge of his seat through musical humor and adventurous mood changes. “
Herman te Loo, Jazzflits, december 2018.
” Few bands are as outspoken as Wild Man Conspiracy.
Appealing is the narrative nature of the pieces whereby the music remains accessible at all times.
The quartet stands strong like a house harboring many spheres.
Indie, jazz, rock, impro and electronics are all integral part of sometimes unearthly arrangements.
Musically very interesting. ”
