Scott Hesse “Hesse is terrific: great ears and crazy chops. Comping, he's inventive, offering suggestive and unexpected colors, sometimes spidery, fingered chords; when he cuts loose, his lines can be thrilling.”
Phil Kelly “Phil Kelly...has once again assembled an all-star collection of sidemen and soloists who can sight-read and improvise from some of the most complex charts in all Jazzdom...unquestionably the top arranger in the Northwest, and possibly the rest of the USA.”
Alex Graham “Some of the great alto players, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Phil Woods and even a touch of Johnny Hodges can be discerned as he works to extend the parameters of the horn...”
Jared Hall “...Hall's expressive, probing trumpet style, offers a masterful, wide ranging sound, and varied emotional landscape.”
Courtney Fortune “She is a steady warm presence, and she handles adeptly the balance of grace and appeal to sensuousness that is an earmark of many jazz-vocal greats...”
The Addis Ken Project “The quartet of brilliant musicians drew inspiration not only from across the planet but also from the depths of time.”
Clarence Penn “...gesture and space surging from a place of heart-felt and fluid integrity...Penn exudes such enthusiasm and love for the music--it is simply impossible not to feel uplifted.”
