the gathering by Stu Hunter
One of the year's most triumphant artistic statements.
Let's call it a masterwork and be done with it.
John shand, Sydney Morning Herald
Stu Hunter is a true original
Jessica Nicholas, The Music Show, Radio National
This album represents a milestone in contemporary Australian jazz; intelligent, expressive and innovatory, at times achieving an almost symphonic level.
John McBeath - The Australian
A watershed in Australian jazz. Magnificent composition, virtuosic musicianship, exquisite mastering, intensely emotional & humanely intelligent
Stereo Net Australia
This piece could top the bill of any arts festival.
Sydney Morning Herald
