MIGUEL ZENON'S IDENTITIES BIG BAND Reviews

“It would simply be enough to just hear Miguel Zenón's saxophone; its fluid, darting, humming bird-like maneuvers, soulful and piercing. Yet as one of the most distinctive altos in jazz, the Grammy nominated and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow is also a gifted composer who continues to deliver insights into his culture.”
– All About Jazz

“The alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón is identifiable by his tone, which is floaty and bright and ornate…But he’s also become identifiable by the quality of ideas, his particular kind of intellectual ambition.”
– The New York Times

“The big to-do about this saxophonist’s new nod to Puerto Rican composers is the way his alto sounds, its effervescent lines carrying the kind of warmth that generates more emotional candor than I previously thought possible. Serving such romantic melodies, it also helps reveal another side of Zenón. He’s truly got his heart on his sleeve here. His group is an apex of relentless interplay.”
