"Transmigration is a triumph of the spirit in the face of adversity. Musically, moreover, it is impressive by any yardstick, with fine arrangements framing first- rate playing from all concerned.

There is evidence aplenty here to suggest that Aboul Hosn is a musician, composer and leader of whom we are likely to be hearing much more of in the future, regardless of whatever Beirut might throw at him."

Ian Patterson, All About Jazz

"His is an album well worth checking out and to top off the stelar ensemble performances there are a number of guest artists like Joe Locke. This is proof that high-quality Jazz exists everywhere."

John Fenton, Jazz Local 32
