"This music has scale and grandeur in the echoing sound of Hussain's Indian percussion and the way it combines with Harland's drums to fill the space or the way Lloyd's various woodwinds emerge from Hussain and Harland's rumbling thunder. (...) With that mighty tenor riding the percussionist's storm on "Tales Of Rumi" and the title track, this is world jazz of the highest order owing as much to Harland and Hussain, as to the leader himself. ... An album of depth, challenge and variety."
(Jazzwise)
"Sangam is the name of his new record and his new working band, with only the Indian tabla player Zakir Hussain and the drummer Eric Harland. You might expect it to be a well-meaning attempt to cross bridges, something that ends up being rhythmically dissolute, a matter of tones and techniques that cancel each other out. It's not; it's a powerfully coherent record."
(The New York Times)
"Even allowing for the diversity of the genre this is, quite simply, the single best jazz release I've heard for months. ... While Hussain's tabla inevitably lend colouration to the music as a whole, what's truly effective here is the trio's ability to create a musical experience far greater than the sum of what in actual terms is a fairly sparse set of parts. The tensile silences that hold this music together are almost sounds in their own right, yet delicate piano solos and blues riffs can emerge seemingly from nowhere and immediately belong."
(BBC Music Magazine)
"A record of real depth and subtlety featuring a trio that we can only hope will tour as substantially as Charles's health and appetite allow."
