Jim Knapp “After World War II, big bands became a minority. Thankfully, they didn't disappear altogether...in the 1990s, Jim Knapp was doing his part to keep the big band tradition alive.”
AsGuests “When it comes to intensity and quality of performance, AsGuests can compete with any group in the world.”
Cathy Segal-Garcia “A songwriter and vocal interpreter of uncommon emotional depth and intuitive lyrical insight... Cathy Segal-Garcia has the uncanny ability of discovering deeper, previously uncharted soul territory in a song no matter the surroundings.”
Kelly Brand “Brand has a flowing winsome style as a pianist and an even more impressive harmonic sense as a composer.”
2x2: Galvao/Santiago/Landais/Enouf “...mixing South American sensuality with serpentine lines making a delightful amalgamation of flavors. A real winner.”
Mark Taylor “One of Seattle's finest young musicians”
Gregg Keplinger “Keplinger, power personified, is captured here as never before. Better known as a guru, collector, designer, and purveyor of drums and cymbals than for his rare public performances, his fearless playing perfectly offsets Mandyck. He can be torrential, densely polyrhythmic, or the most challenging of accompanists. What he can't do is be the self-effacing routinier. Together, these two iconoclastic virtuosi open new territory, revealing a stormy, eerily beautiful musical world where they and their listeners seem remarkably at home.”
