Bongwool Lee “...a unique blend of strong melodies, rich harmonies, and a beautiful balance of accessible and unpredictable...I truly enjoy hearing her play.”
Ryan Shultz “Lines of sustained lyric beauty, brawny embellishments, aggressive rhythms and brilliant technique attest to Shultz' expressive range....one of the most versatile players on the scene”
Vasilic Nenad “There's power in music of one's homeland. Somehow, it transcends all opinions, criticisms, language and cultural limitations. Vasilic Nenad and his Balkan Band give us an 'ear' view into his culture.”
Paul Hofmann “The two are so relaxed together, so in each other's pocket that they make the most convoluted motifs sound effortless ...”
Pharez Whitted “...few have managed to channel (Hubbard) as effectively as Pharez Whitted, who honors the late giant with his combination of intensity and technique, spank and sparkle, and that hot-cider tone.”
Alon Farber “...a fantastic find...Such is Farber's brilliance as a songwriter and arranger—he takes the best from each of the traditions he calls upon, uniting a wide array of colors towards the common end of an exciting, celebratory music.”
Trio Linguae “Woods' advanced execution and uncanny ability to unfurl extraordinary phrases make him a trumpeter with whom to reckon.”
Brian Gephart “...one of the more personal sounds. A bluntly assertive soloist, he builds on the styles of Joe Henderson and Sonny Rollins in staying close to the ground, harmonically, and Von Freeman in his ever-present threat to torch mainstream convention.”
Dave Hanson “From bar one, Hanson's superior writing and orchestration skills - and this band's joie de Bop -jump out at you like an IMAX 3D screen gem.”
