“The wide range of instrumental colors, exotic rhythms and time signatures, along with the high musicianship, make this [View From Afar] a highly recommended recording...”“...expertly played by the well-rehearsed band, unusual and consistently intriguing.”“Bassist Larry Steen has come up with an interesting and viable bridge between the two genres [fusion and ethnic music] that’s not over done from either aspect.”“...Steen himself who most amazes with lyricism that belies his young age. For the contemporary jazz fan, this [First Move] is a delightful effort on the part of a musician who we are bound to hear more from.”
