[...] Colour Yes will delight fans of the dreamy astral jazz played by
pianist/harpist Alice Coltrane, and that of saxophonists John Coltrane and
Pharoah Sanders in their more reflective moments. Above all, it will bring a
warm glow to enthusiasts for trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Bill Evans circa
Kind Of Blue (Columbia, 1959). They may also be grateful that Halsall does not,
at this point in his career anyway, feel the need to adopt Davis' dictum: "I
always gotta change, it's like a curse." In the case of Colour Yes, more of the
same, lovely, gently swinging, uncomplicated beauty is a blessing. [...]
