*5 Stars…."Absolutely gorgeous! Complex music played so expertly that it
sounds simple..." **Michael Rose, KFAI Radio MN*



*4 Stars…"Lovely album! A magical journey into the abyss." **Maria Curcic,
Radio Canada, Vancouver BC*



*“The Alchemy...is a transformational fusion of Eastern and Western
traditions. Brooks soprano work is some of the finest in almost any genre -
light, fluid and precise. ** Ramanth’s violin work is some of the most
poignant I’ve heard.” Ralph Miriello, Notes on Jazz*
