Western Jazz Collective
“Rathbun's lines dance and glide, reflecting both childlike wonder and well-honed artistry.”
Jerry Bergonzi
“...Bergonzi has his own voice with its own cry. He's nimble, approaching a beat or chord from any direction. He gets a consistent tone from tenors top to bottom that still has a softness to it, a vulnerability. And even when he's revved up, he leaves space in a solo to let pretty phrases sink in.”
Kelly Brand
“Brand has a flowing winsome style as a pianist and an even more impressive harmonic sense as a composer.”
Dan Cray
“Like a poet or a painter who searches constantly for new ways to express himself without losing his core focus...”
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.”
Kevin Woods
“His advanced execution and uncanny ability to unfurl extraordinary phrases make him a trumpeter with whom to reckon.”
Kelly Harland
“When you hear Kelly Harland sing, it's apparent that she is in possession of an extraordinary gift. Her sensuous and compelling voice will inspire you to listen to it over and over; it will cause your heart to sing. This CD is indisputable proof that Kelly is a diva among jazz vocalists. Listen to the contents herein and you, too, will fall in love.”
Pete Christlieb
“... among the worlds best at what he does...”
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.”
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.”
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...”
Brittany Anjou
“Anjou's composition are read as a series of points of view on the art of the trio. It is an anthology of songs both dreamlike and alert, where free-jazz meets Rachmaninoff and electronics.”
