"The Maria Schneider Orchestra is one of the greatest joys in jazz today. American Crow is proof." 5-stars DOWNBEAT – Frank Alkyer

"When you hear "American Crow" trumpeter Mike Rodriguez and "A World Lost" guitarist Jeff Miles against the direly dramatic backdrop and darting heft of the Maria Schneider Orchestra, it's a chattering conversation of feeling blues and seeing reds. Yet there's beauty when those reds and blues are mingled into something purplish and gorgeously epic." JAZZTIMES – A.D. Amorosi

"This new EP, expansive enough to rival a full-length release, arrives not as a minor statement but as a fully formed meditation. ... In the slow arc of its harmonies and the lift of its final ascent, the music leaves behind not just resonance, but room, room to reflect, to question, to feel the air shift overhead." translated from French to English PARIS-MOVE – Thierry De Clemensat

"Some protest music needs to scream in order to make its point. This is at the other end of the spectrum: a protest music that, by making its point through a demonstration of humanity, is no less eloquent." TheBlueMoment.com – Richard Williams
