Roberta Brenza “Her delightfully casual and welcoming voice, defying gravity in a manner not unlike a legend such as Blossom Dearie or peer Kat Edmonson, has the special charm that's easy on the ears with the potential to stir your heart.”
Joshua Redman “There's only a handful of naturally gifted musicians, and Joshua' s one of them. Everytime you hear him, he's at a higher level.”
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.”
Randy Brecker “Trumpeter Randy Brecker's jazz credentials are of the highest order.”
Laurie Antonioli “It is not hyperbole to say that Laurie Antonioli is emerging as the most important vocalist, let alone jazz vocalist, this decade. Let us hope for much more music from this brilliant constellation in the west.”
Dave Peterson “...Dave Peterson originals - full of sharp gleaming edges and shining facets and neat grooves, catchy, stick-in-the-head melodies, and a very accessible sound that reveals deeper complexities on multiple listens.”
speak “A debut rocket ride of outstanding quality from the Seattle quintet”
twopool “A compatible crew of participants, all good natured risk-takers, makes Twopool a most unique ensemble worth checking out.”
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.”
