Wow. Amazing and what a great sound you get. Very enjoyable – arrangements, everything..

– Bob McChesney, Jazz Trombonist

Lake and Pagano deserve a lot of credit for what they’ve accomplished here. Roads Less Traveled is an inspired, well-wrought work of art.

Beautifully played and wonderful to have something so fresh. Keep them coming!
