Writer Filipe Freitas calls the record, "not too brooding, not too exuberant, and not too bombastic, Metropolis Paradise finds an unblemished equilibrium in exerting good-natured vibes and emotion."

WBGO is premiering the video for "Despite the Dream" as part of their weekly Take Five new release feature.

Listen to the lead track featuring Uri Caine and Andrew Cyrille.

J.D. Considine notes the album's "Inspired interplay."

We're big fans of Chinen's weekly Take Five column because he shines a light on so much great music that is coming out.
