Peter Apfelbaum & The New York Hieroglyphics - It Is Written (2005)

Recorded over three days in September in 2004, It Is Written is an album of breadth, to say the least, that never loses its luster even after repeated listens. For those with open ears to music that traverses genres, It Is Written is a trip well worth taking, offering concise ensemble playing and a natural feel. Tracks like Apparition/Projectiles are worth a listen, because chances are you will enjoy it. And like a lot of great musicians operating on the fringes, Apfelbaum has been waiting way too long to release this album.-allaboutjazz-
