Alex Domschot: Buzz
"Great ideas and great chemistry" - February, 2006
Bill Milkowski's Jazz Times review is another positive commentary. I'm thrilled and flattered.
Nice review of CD on Textura - January, 2006
Marc's Shades of Jade and Alex's Venusian Commute were combined in the same review.
"Teachers is a masterpiece" - December, 2005
Dr. Ana Isabel Ordonez had some very nice things to say, including "Venusian Commute is a wonderful accomplishment, gathering classic and jazz with original and lyrical sounds."
Marc and Vic "steal the thunder" - November, 2005
I always chuckle when reviewers characterize musical events (including recordings) as akin to a sporting event: the musicians seemingly engaged in a competition with each other, as in a late-night game of Cutthroat at the local pool hall.
At least this listener had high praise for "Teachers", even as he failed to realise (me and my Brit-spell) that, in fact, the "deeply etched, foreboding cello intonations" were actually Marc Johnson and his trusty bow; or that the solo cello played so beautifully on "Princess" is Warren Samples (not to mention the string orchestra); or that Andy Lalasis is sitting in the bass chair on "Two's Blues"; yet, the overall tone of the review is - despite its observational shortcomings - quite positive.
