“I have been working with maestro G Calvin Weston over the past two months, having him lay down tracks remotely for my upcoming album. I can tell all of you out there that not only are the performances Mr. Weston sends of the highest musical quality, but also that the recordings are clean, with plenty of separation, and Mr. Weston is one of the easiest, most enthusiastic people to work with. Rapid turnaround time, and multiple takes to choose from make this one of the best deals out there. World-class drumming, done with Precision, Power, and Passion!” – Jason Berry
“Grant Calvin Weston has blazed a harmolodic, funkadelic trail through modern jazz. This record is a culmination of recordings made on the West Coast and his hometown of Philadelphia. Weston puts his Midas touch on electronics and acoustic instruments that blow the socks off any jazz-rock poser out there. Listen to the man who funked-up Ornette Coleman in the 1970s.” – Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery.
“G. Calvin Weston is by far one of the world’s most renowned and respected drummers, whose style not only reflects his technical gift but also his distinct musical sensibility. Whether it is Rock, Fusion, Jazz or World, G. Calvin Weston applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which is never lacking in emotion, passion and feel.”

“Calvin Weston is wild enough by himself; he gets even crazier when he’s joined by other percussionists … [achieves] a rare cohesion, fusing jazz, hip-hop, African rhythms, and funk into an invigorating and exploratory sound that’s both enjoyable and intellectual.” -Philadelphia Weekly
“Fierce grooves, torrid worldbeat percussion vamps, and raucous soloing escapades … a mind-altering exposition” -eJazzNews
“Calvin is one of my biggest influences. He has been a huge inspiration to many musicians and a portal into Ornette Coleman’s funky harmolodic world. This recording is a culmination of music made on the West Coast and in his Philadelphia hometown. The intense wild alchemy utilizing acoustic and electronic sounds in combination with other Philadelphia musical mavericks makes this a very special (and fun!) trip into the world of Grant Calvin Weston.” -Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood)
