All about Jazz
“If Fly’s raison d’être is to consolidate its members’ extracurricular work, then what Year of the Snake demonstrates with crystal clarity is that each player’s language, command and sophistication continue to evolve as the result of their efforts; but it’s only as Fly that they can truly exercise everything they’ve honed with complete and utter freedom.”  – John Kelman

All Music
“Of Fly‘s three recordings to date, Year of the Snake is the most unusual and beguiling; it unhinges preconceived notions about the saxophone trio with complete freedom minus the chaos of disorder.”  – Thom Jurek

Denver Jazz Music
“The leaderless group known as the Fly Triohas just released their second recording forECM Records, Year of the Snake, and it is sixty minutes of perfection.” – Rob Johnson
