| All About Jazz |   [1] |
The All About Jazz review by John Kelman awarded the album 4½ stars and simply states: "Alfabeats is a playing band, albeit one with a language that extends far beyond the conventional definition of jazz to include elements of soul, R&B, funk... even hints of progressive rock and classic '70s Brit-rock. Regardless of how the group amalgamates a seemingly disparate group of influences, groove is priority number one. Stones is an exciting debut that will no doubt appeal to a younger demographic. But it's just as certain to attract more seasoned jazzers who don't have a knee-jerk reaction against rap or the idea of straying away from convention." [1]
All tracks are written by Max "Mbassado" Marzio and Roberto Magris, except where noted.
