Jim Ridl “Jim Ridl is a brilliant and imaginative pianist whose music is true to his North Dakota origins while firmly rooted in the jazz tradition.”
Affinity Trio “Jacobson, York, and Schaub are masters of sound, touch and feel. This outing showcases them in a drumless trio format which allows for all three of their gorgeous sounds to be heard with clarity. It's a swinging record that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
Margo Rey “Margo is a high-energy, self-motivated singer...What she does with a melody and a groove is just gorgeous! It's no wonder, she has exploded on to the music scene.”
Jason Hainsworth “In these times when so many young musicians seem to seek head-scratching complexity in their performance, Jason Hainsworth's rib stickin' approach sounds downright novel by comparison!”
John Gunther “Gunther's music is pictorial without being simply picturesque. What is most immediately appealing about this music is its modesty... it's about small or simple pleasures, the joys of craft...”
Ralph Bowen “The sax man is so on point here delighting us with smoking, straight ahead jazz...”
Lincoln Goines “Leaping genres with this kind of authority is a talent within itself, and the success he has had certainly acknowledges his obvious commitment to artistic integrity.”
Shawn Purcell “I can't find the words that convey the feelings that emerge from the presence of a great player. It happens once in a while and now is one of those times...”
Jessica Williams “One of the greatest jazz pianists I have ever heard...”
Hal Galper “Hal Galper excels in his highly dramatic improvisations as a soloist... He plays wild capers; sudden flashes of brilliance tumbling over each other temperamentally, individual phrases sparkle effortlessly away; he changes with suspensefully loaded chord sequences, capricious, whimsical arabesques, tempo changes, pauses and stormy runs that suddenly descend over the music.”
Aubrey Johnson “[Johnson] becomes the song with her commanding control and confident tone.”
Gregg Hill “...there's an abundance of refreshing music at this 'Oasis,' and it is well worth pausing to drink it in.”
