“The album has the feel of a bunch of friends expressing real affection for Phil and his music. The rhythms and moods are varied and tightly arranged… If you know the band members at all, you can be assured they are all solid in solo and ensemble at all times. Night Crawler and Swing Softly are standouts, while Harbours is actually a part of a larger work called The Atlantic Suite… This is a fine tribute to a Canadian jazz pioneer and mentor to hundreds of younger musicians. The title indicates Volume 1, so maybe Sean has other ideas up his sleeve.”

★★★★ out of five

“… the band is really, exceptionally good… Another thing many of these compositions have that most modern jazz doesn’t is a strong lyrical feeling in the melodic lines. Turcotte, Davidson, Murley and White are the principal soloists, but grandson Sean Nimmons is a fine pianist who peeks in for a few bars once in a while. Jon Maharaj is a strong, swinging bassist who keeps things moving, and Ethan Ardelli is a vividly imaginative drummer.”

“The Nimmons Tribute makes stylish additions to the legend's back catalog and presents tracks such as Harbors (from The Atlantic Suite), Nufsicisum and Liëse in a new, fascinating disguise. Common to all the tribute album's eight tracks is that -in addition to being written by Phil Nimmons -they uncover a compositional rigor and a completely unique look for the art of interplay.” ★★★★

“ Just such a smooth, stylish and tasty record, pour some XO cognac and enjoy. This is such well done, killer stuff.”
