"...Unfurls in a great kinetic gesture, like a three-tailed kite looping about on invisible currents with graceful unpredictability. Each player's keen intuition...suggests the kind of mature sense of timing you find only amongst thefinestspontaneous composers." - Sam Prestianni, San Francisco Weekly
"Potion is New Winds' first disc to feature the recently recruited Herb Robertson. The trumpet/Fluegelhorn player isvery attuned to the erudite approach to space andcolor thattraditionally has been this long-standing trio'scalling card. In collective improvisations, heexhibitsakeen sense of when to dovetail Dick andreed player Ned Rothernberg, and when to prod them in new directions. On Potion, New Winds is very much a new ensemble." - Bill Shoemaker, JazzTimes
