Lolita
"The music is lolipopesque - in other words: their own. It cannot be classified to any of the modern music fields because it steals from everybody (free, Coltrain, funk..). Somebody labelled them as hardboppop... The music is pleasant, very energetic at moments (drummer cuts loose from chains), stomping its feet from joy and then the bass barges in which is lyric after all and the scene is cooled off. Sax, after all these recordings is clearly recognisable, makes an artistic intermezzo that may be followed by either everything or nothing at all..."
