"Joyriding is‭ ‬an‭ ‬album‭ ‬full‭ ‬of‭ ‬good‭ ‬vibes‭ ‬and‭ ‬upbeat‭ ‬grooves,
tempered‭ ‬by the occasional reflective and romantic interlude.The
playing is superb ,the sound quality is exceptional (thanks to Nash's production at Clowns Pocket Studio) and the tunes are very definitely a joy".......
"Nash‭ ‬is‭ ‬probably‭ ‬best‭ ‬known‭ ‬as‭ ‬an‭ ‬alto‭ ‬saxophonist‭ ‬but‭ ‬he impresses on all four horns with his astonishing fluency on baritone perhaps the most distinctive element. Newton is effortlessly elegant throughout,‭ ‬as‭ ‬always,‭ Gascoyne and ‬de‭ ‬Krom‭ ‬are‭ ‬the consummate rhythm section, swinging forcefully one second, tenderly embellishing the next”
