On "Homing (a feeling in nine parts)" bassist and composer J. A. Granelli takes Mr. Lucky on a
deep exploration of the roots of American music and how they apply to a quintet of thoroughly modern
musicians. Composed with both a deep reverence for the past and a clear eyed look at the present,
Granelli has succeeded in making music that exists out of time and place but feels like home. This
is a CD that draws the listener into a world of subtle feel, beautiful melody and deep groove.
The Sound of Love.

"Granelli is using the funky, expressive possibilities of these vintage instruments to evoke a sense of weight and permanence -
something that music needs in our increasingly fast-moving, cyber-throwaway world. This CD has staying power - not because of
the players or instruments they use - but because Granelli and his band understand music, its power, and its history.
To me, Homing - A Feeling in Nine Parts is a not just another great CD - it's a reminder of what music can be if you forget
about what you think music should be. Highly recommended."

"It may not be jazz by any conventional definition, but it's a certainty that Granelli and Mr. Lucky don't particularly care.
Like Frisell, improvisation is a key element of what they do. But in a context that's as distanced from the jazz mainstream
as the nu jazz movement of Scandinavia, Homing is an album that's sure to reward those who view it as part of a larger
continuum, where fusing elements from disparate sources is not only allowed but encouraged."
- John Kelman, allaboutjazz.com
"Maybe it works so well because 'Lazy Eye' is a soulful, bluesy track, and there's nothing as universal as music that sounds
like it comes with a side shot of whiskey to help you through your troubles."
