Les DeMerle “Infinitely adaptable, DeMerle's power and rhythmic elasticity underlines his bold presence and command of modern jazz drumming.”
Marius Nordal “This is mature music of the highest intelligence and emotional power and can be deeply enjoyed by anyone willing to really listen.”
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.”
Michael Waldrop “...this auspicious debut bristles with a visceral post-Weather Report energy that brings big bands into new light.”
Thomas Marriott “One of the best trumpet players in the world.”
Robby Ameen “...a roller coaster ride of wildly percolating beats, choppy rhythmic thrusts and plenty of popping percussion. In reinventing Afro-Cuban, funk and post-bop, he's kept everything charged up like a crazed rhino on steroids. Keep out of the way and you'll be fine.”
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...”
George Fludas “Adept, with a pulse of swinging ease.”
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.”
Sienna Dahlen “Dahlen has an extremely alluring voice, one that could sell rainwater in a snowstorm.”
Ted Poor “Mr. Poor is a sharp young drummer who has had the effect, in recent months, of galvanizing any group in which he plays.”
