Here is a really good early review from the Vancouver Province:

TIM POSGATE HORNBAND featuring HOWARD JOHNSON

Banjo Hockey (Black Hen)

Guitarist Posgate leaves his six strings for the five-string banjo, and hooks up with legendary Miles Davis/Band/Taj Mahal sousaphonist Howard Johnson, saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff and trumpeter Lina Allemano for one of the coolest sounding instrumental outings to pass my desk lately. This is like gin joint stomps from outer space — bouncing all over the place borne on the percussive picking of the banjo and that silly, but oh-so-cool tuba groove.
