“"Fundamentally Flawed" is an album that is rich in complexity, original creativity and sophisticated musicianship. The trio of Dan Pitt, Alex Fournier and Nick Fraser have collaborated to produce a seamless mosaic of traditional and contemporary jazz that is adventurous and focused as they breathe life into every composition and note. Each member is uniquely talented and the sounds they make together will surprise even the most devoted jazz fanatic.”

“A cat happy to give Manny Eicher some love, this date recalls classic ECM sessions from the mid 70s when no one was really sure what to call it.  The kind of stuff they were doing with cats that weren’t major label refugees, this is sure to take you back to the day, jetting there in fine style."
