The last two, ‘Fit’ and ‘Far Flung’ have been voted in the top Jazz/Impro releases for 2009 and 2013 in both ‘WIRE’ magazine and ‘Jazz Journal’ (UK).
The trio has performed at festivals and venues around the globe including, Tokyo Jazz Festival, International Festival de Jazz de Montreal, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Chelsea Festival, Vilnius Jazz Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Wangaratta Jazz Festival.
