"The Sonic Temple is one of those rare collective improvisations that can at times sound fully composed....Honestly, prepare
to be amazed, because it's that good."
- Mark Saleski

"V16 is simply responding to the myriad of influences that make one night different from the next for a group that’s clearly out on a limb with every performance. There may be no safety nets for V16, but The Sonic Temple simply proves that Jerry Granelli and his younger cohorts don’t need one."
- John Kelman

"Four Stars"
- Downbeat

"Granelli remains one of the best working drummers in any genre of music, but the band’s just as fine—this is an electric-guitar quartet unlike any other."
- Paul Olson

"This is precision, this is punch, this is real exploratory music that cannot really be held down by anything. It is free, but it ain’t free jazz. It is just freed of all our bourgeois expectations.
Best jazz album of the year so far..."
- Matt Cibula
