Dmitri Matheny “Dmitri Matheny is a jazz treasure. The lyrical Matheny has impressive chops, but it's his warmth and soulfulness that win you over.”
Kelly Brand “Brand has a flowing winsome style as a pianist and an even more impressive harmonic sense as a composer.”
Gloria Cooper “...a haunting voice and a romantic imaginative piano style.”
Bobby Broom “Bobby Broom is an extraordinary musician. I love playing with him.”
Hadley Caliman “He combines knowledge and creativity, as well as soul and swing.”
Trio East “Each brings a singular skill and presence...”
Piet Verbist “The bassist has a real talent for creating modern works that balance expertly between new and old-school forms of expression...deeply melodic forays and from-the-heart blues occupy the same space, unconflicted.”
Reuben Radding “Radding's bass soloing has its own voice; in pizzicato less guitar-like than say, vintage Charlie Haden yet much more agile and lively than say, Dave Holland; and arco he just burns--forget other bass players.”
Kiki Valera “...one of the world's greatest exponents of the cuatro...Valera specializes in son, the infectious call-and-answer Cuban song form, but solos like a jazz guy.”
Jared Hall “...Hall's expressive, probing trumpet style, offers a masterful, wide ranging sound, and varied emotional landscape.”
Gregg Hill “...there's an abundance of refreshing music at this 'Oasis,' and it is well worth pausing to drink it in.”
