High Praise Indeed 4(.5) Barney McAll 
4 1/2 stars of praise for Graft in the JB hifi Stack Magazine. "Throughout, McAll's improvisational excursions are dynamic and emotive." -quite frankly we couldn't agree more! And there was a review of the live performance... "The most powerful impression came from New York-based Australian pianist Barney McAll. His visionary new work Graft (featuring two pianos, vibraphone and a 16-voice choir) combined soulful grooves, electronics, ethereal harmonies and exquisite lyricism". Sydney Morning Herald.
