"...last year stood out most prominently as a year of notable jazz records, distinguished not only by their quality and novelty, but by their vast ambition ... Tyshawn Sorey's Koan, a trio CD recorded last year with bassist Thomas Morgan and guitarist Todd Neufeld, deserves mention alongside any of these albums."

"Since the 1980's, merely paying tribute to history has become one of the worst blemishes on jazz recording; you could tile your bathroom with dreary, uninspired records that aim to honor Miles...Coltrane...Monk... and so on, which nail the notes but miss the spirit by a country mile. Chicago drummer Mike Reed leads two bands that deal with the past and get it right. Not only have he and his cohorts done their homework by learning the idioms and ideas... they've worked to reconcile what they've learned with their knowledge of contemporary ways. These ensembles don't simply re-create; they create." - DownBeat |
