The world finally took note of this incredible composer and bass player after the release of his landmark CD, Ashcan Rantings (Clean Feed, 2010). After three recordings with his West Coast version of the band, the first recording of his New York one has won him praise and glory. The Full Throttle Orchestra is one of the most compelling big format bands to arise in decades. Amazing writing and playing presented in Europe for the first time.

"Joy, as Lane points out in the liner notes, should elevate musicians and listeners to an absolute level of pleasure and fun. Result achieved fully, because the disc combines a sublime listening pleasure with the quality of the music, the beat of his feet with that of the heart, the thought with action, the flashes of individual genius with the compactness, the peculiarities of writing based on cells and development given unpredictable melodic inventiveness of the performers. Breathtaking!" Vincenzo Roggero, All About Jazz Italy

"Ashcan Rantings is easily one of the best records of the year." Troy Collins, Point of Departure

"If you buy only ten jazz albums this year, this might well be one you should include on your list." Grego Edwards, Gaplegate Music

"Man, man, man -- this is music I will still listen to with joy in a couple of decades and recommend to my great-grand-children." Stef Gissels, Free Jazz
