Gary Versace “I love unusual harmony, and (Versace) has got some very thoughtful and different ideas about chord structure. He is endlessly inventive. He does a lot of fresh things - he really has an extraordinary talent.”
Q.E.D. “...an outstanding album with interesting compositions and performances alike.”
Charlie Ballantine “In the vein of fellow guitarists like John Scofield, Bill Frisell and Julian Lage, Ballantine reconciles his background in jazz with the stylistic background of his instrument...the gratifying tonal and harmonic language of rock/roots with the groove, ambition and improvisational focus of a jazz musician.”
Nick Finzer “...a new voice to the pantheon of upcoming trombone greats in the making... Great compositions, playing, and overall leadership of the band... the WHOLE package.”
Rick Mandyck “Mandyck is back playing tenor—clarion, powerful, thrilling tenor. His sound is commanding but never harsh even when he executes his signature intervals, leaping from lower register blasts to plaintive treble cries.”
Upper Left Trio “Upper Left Trio can boast being one of the more articulate and thoughtful new trios to emerge in the mainstream in the 21st century.”
Dee Daniels “Dee is queen of all that she musically surveys.”
Flatland “[Flatland] meticulously molds musical soundscapes that can alternately seduce you to sleep, get you stoned, and make you feel all slinky and sexy. Brilliance without words.”
