		"Paul Wakeen and his company, Stillpoints, are not letting any grass grow under their feet."
		"Show sound is not a constant. It varies over the course of the event, as I discovered with products I know well."
		"The new Impex reissue of Thelonious Monk's Monk's Dream was one of the finest aural experiences of the show for me."
