"the great vocal melodies are worthy of voices of the highest calibre…[Troyanos] spans the stylistic dichotomy to perfection in a superb portrayal of Anita. Moreover Bernstein's sons and daughter speak the dialogue most affectingly….the power of the music is greatly enhanced by the spectacularly wide dynamic range of the recording." (Penguin Guide)

“Peace of Action” is the new release from Earl ‘Damu the Fudgemunk’ Davis' Def Pressé Editions x KPM project. The album is the second installment of the series and is entirely instrumental, with no guests or vocals. Earl Davis expressed his joy and pride in his second collaboration with KPM, which allowed him to manifest new ideas and experiment in music. He also noted that working on the album gave him the freedom to break away from his typical “calling card” and show another dimension in music. Earl Davis added that each song on the album is a scene that paints its own unique world and that music has the ability to take people's imagination to different places. Overall, “Peace of Action” is a blend of jazz and hip-hop elements, created using KPM's jazz catalog as a separate source of inspiration for Davis.
