"'Bebop Repository' explodes with engaging blends of traditions and joyful suprises-with Williams and Prieto leading a spirited band with unyielding heat and swing...The level of maturity is penetrating".
---Dr. Herb Wong

"'Bebop Repository', improvisation at its height, Leon Williams, tenor sax and clarinet; guitarist Dave Prieto, and their group, showing heaps of power, showing shades of bossa, ballads, and more, original and suprising."
---Jack Burke

"Bebop Repository" is more than just a string of exquisite and magical moments. It's as clear a demonstration of synergy, the phenomenon whereby the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, as one could ever wish for. These players listen carefully, responding to melodic, harmonic and rhythmic initiatives with empathy and alacrity. The result is a fine straight-ahead recording; a further demonstration that in Leon Williams and Dave Prieto the jazz tradition has some its finest exponents."
