Michael Vlatkovich “Vlatkovich is the finest trombonist improvising today...While this music isn't exactly out
there, it is far from the mainstream. In the end, it doesn't matter as this music shines in or outside of any context.”
Jason Hainsworth “In these times when so many young musicians seem to seek head-scratching complexity in their performance, Jason Hainsworth's rib stickin' approach sounds downright novel by comparison!”
John Hansen “John Hansen is of that rarest of breeds: An attentive, discreetly inventive accompanist.”
Darren Johnston “...a resourceful improviser who writes vivid, episodic themes.”
Noah Halpern “Halpern's ardent tonality was rich and warm, giving the evening an extraordinary two trumpet hit.”
Jim Ridl “Jim Ridl is a brilliant and imaginative pianist whose music is true to his North Dakota origins while firmly rooted in the jazz tradition.”
Bruce Barth “No one sounds quite like Barth. His solos are characterized by robust swing, his ability to tell a story, and by his rich, beguiling sound.”
Carlos Vega “Saxophonist Carlos Vega's band crackles...crafty arrangements, spirited group interplay, and ear-grabbing freshness and spontaneity in their soloing.”
John Gross “Gross' playing is deeply, profoundly human, fat and sensuous yet hard and jagged, inflamed with a gleeful audacity.”
