Press Quotes
“Part synth-inspired, part spiritual jazz-inspired, there’s really very little else to compare this progressive and bold sonic soundscape with.” - UK Vibe
"Powerful and righteous." - Ennio Styles (3RRR FM)
“Incredible Cosmic Jazz Debut” - Beat Caffeine
"Joshua Moshe and La Sape Records have outdone themselves and brought us an album far ahead of it's time. I'm a bit speechless yet I want to tell the whole world what they're missing if they don't listen to this!" - Kerem Gokmen - Dubmission (WYEP Pittsburgh).
"The JK GROUP has evolved into something even more beautiful. Blending late Modal Jazz, Afro-Cuban music, Jewish music, Garage, Broken Beat, Nu-Jazz, and Modern Jazz into art that is truly transformative." - The Australian Music Prize 2023
