Editorial Reviews
...HAND ON THE TORCH is that rare jazz-rap mix that takes jazz's rhythmic kick to the front of the house...
Vibe

3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - ...The raps are fresher than the beats (the new beats, that is)...the hard-bop oldies...save the show by stealing it....
Down Beat (01/01/1994)

...What could have easily degenerated into arty posturing is a compelling, danceable delight...
