JAZZ BY 5 Reviews

Javon Jackson
“There's no disputing his improvisational agility or his abilities to deliver magnetic melodies and emotional heft.”
– Downbeat Magazine
 
Eddie Henderson
“Henderson has… effortless swing, an offhand blues feeling, a fat, juicy tone and a lovely, warm lower register and a gift for spinning an improvised tale.”
– NPR critic Kevin Whitehead
 
Eddie Gomez
“Blessed with an uncanny ability to find the right note, the right phrase, to instantly absorb the sound of each instrument that surrounds him and react with the perfect piece of the puzzle, hearing Eddie perform is an experience to behold. Through it all, his unmistakable tone and technique allow him to put his own personal stamp on all that emanates from his upright, whether in the role of supporting player or soloist. In short, Eddie Gomez is our modern master of bass.”
– Bass Musician Magazine
 
Jimmy Cobb
“Cobb is in fine form, playing ruggedly and with gusto and urgency, still goosing top-calibre musicians 40 years his junior.”
– The Ottawa Citizen
 
George Cables
“Every one of these tunes shines like a polished gem in Cables' masterful hands. Tempos are flawless, interpretations admirable, ad-libs smooth and persuasive, the framework lucid and sunny yet emphatic when need be.”
