The music of Viktor Toth is filled with a joy that can only come through the heart of someone who loves music on its own terms. This music is past new; it is ageless and poised to take off as part of the next generation. This is what we find in the illustrious meeting of Viktor Toth alto sax, Matyas Szandai bass and the presence of Hamid Drake, who by historic standards is the premier percussionist of any decade. The trumpet of my old friend Ferenc Kovacs also features on several songs. Please drop all pretensions and let these sounds dance in your souls, stirring things up to take you to the top of the mountain. William Parker

Press Quotes
Toth, in any case, has the kind of stinging tone and pump-action phrasing that plays well against Drake and double bassist Szandai and a songbook of bouncy, sometimes pretty tunes serves the group well. For the most part the emphasis is on solid swing with a rich additional colour being supplied by the impressive guest trumpeter Kovacs, but the ensemble widens that vocabulary in attractive ways, above all on the slightly Oliver Lake-ish reggae rub of 'Green With Blue'. A strong showing from a bandleader who deserves greater exposure beyond the borders of his homeland.
—Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise, December 2015
