The H2 Big Band “Pulls out all the stops and is surely one of the most exhilarating big bands in recent history.”
Darren Johnston “...a resourceful improviser who writes vivid, episodic themes.”
Jim Knapp “After World War II, big bands became a minority. Thankfully, they didn't disappear altogether...in the 1990s, Jim Knapp was doing his part to keep the big band tradition alive.”
Affinity Trio “Jacobson, York, and Schaub are masters of sound, touch and feel. This outing showcases them in a drumless trio format which allows for all three of their gorgeous sounds to be heard with clarity. It's a swinging record that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
Jack Mouse “Jack Mouse flexes his gymnast-level flexibility, nailing spontaneous hemiolas and double-time spurts with taste, confidence and accuracy.”
Piet Verbist “The bassist has a real talent for creating modern works that balance expertly between new and old-school forms of expression...deeply melodic forays and from-the-heart blues occupy the same space, unconflicted.”
Donny McCaslin “If this is the future of jazz, we may not yet be prepared, but McCaslin and crew aren't wasting time with baby steps.”
