From New Zealand Herald, album review, "The balance of Nathan Haines' ninth studio album is outstanding, with small combo approaches mixed with more complex arrangements, notably Lament, with the legendary Kiwi Wayne Senior bringing his talent to the fore. On this track, Haines has broadened his palette with a six-piece brass section, aiming for a Birth of the Cool feel."
Nathan came to me with the request that I score a 10 piece accompaniment for “Lament” as recorded by Miles Davis with the Gil Evans orchestra (Miles + 19). We both loved the introduction and Evan’s scoring so I took the one chorus recorded and expanded it into 3 choruses, incorporating solo space for Nathan and pianist Kevin Haines.
