Scott Hesse “Hesse is terrific: great ears and crazy chops. Comping, he's inventive, offering suggestive and unexpected colors, sometimes spidery, fingered chords; when he cuts loose, his lines can be thrilling.”
Michael Waldrop Big Band “...this auspicious debut bristles with a visceral post-Weather Report energy that brings big bands into new light.”
Bongwool Lee “...a unique blend of strong melodies, rich harmonies, and a beautiful balance of accessible and unpredictable...I truly enjoy hearing her play.”
Nicole Glover “Glover's set was something else entirely, damn near the stuff of which legends are made.”
Andrew Rathbun “An industrious saxophonist and imaginative composer-arranger.”
Roberta Gambarini “Gambarini is a true successor to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae.”
Brad Wheeler “Wheeler's dramatically paced solos unfold with the cool logic of a mystic.”
Arthur Kell “...melodic arrangements, spontaneous interaction, and vibrant individual performances. Booming bass lines, crisp drumming, and guitar harmonies are in abundance and every tune has elements of swing and discovery.”
