Reviews of Manhattan Bones "Tribute"

"On my 'Best of 2005' list...dynamite..." - Herb Wong, IAJE Journal

"....the group achieves a majestic ensemble blend... the pianist's
energizing solos are a highlight...." - Owen Cordle, Jazz Times, March,
2006 issue (http://www.jazztimes.com/reviews/cd_reviews)

"It's truly a pleasure to be able to play "Tribute" by Manhattan Bones on
my program. This CD is not only a "tribute" to the great jazz artists
whose works are showcased on it, but also to the dedication and
artistry of the musicians who make up this remarkable ensemble." -
Bob Bernotas, author and host of "Just Jazz," WNTI, Hackettstown, NJ
& www.wnti.org

"Your rendition of Gil Evans 'Where Flamingos Fly' should be
nominated for every possible "Best Arrangement and Performance'
award in existence." - Laurence Donohue-Green, All About Jazz/NY

"The Tribute CD is slammin'! I've been playing it steadfastly and made it
one of my memorable releases of '05." - Peter Poses, KCFR Colorado
radio

"Tribute is a tour of trombone traditions and swinging modern
ensemble playing....two adventurous highlights are the leader's
originals. "Waltz for Shape Shifter" has a Reeves' alto valve trombone
solo tesitying over a haunting vamp, plus Ridl cascading and swirling
in mutimetic exchanges with trombone ensembles. "Congressional
Roll Call" ...finds Sessions soloing with maximum slides and slurs and
Reeves adding an incisive alto flugelhorn solo..." - George Kanzler, All
About Jazz/NY, December 2005 issue

"Intriguing writing, great ensemble work, and creative soloing make this
CD a must for all jazz trombone fans." - trombonist John Fedchock


"Creative trombone writing, excellent ensemble playing and
outstanding jazz solos by four of New York's best young trombonists. A
real treat." - trombonist Jack Gale

"I LOVE it, great trombone work....! - Rene Laanen, Danish jazz
promoter (http://www.trombone-usa.com/trombonist_photos.htm)

"Four excellent trombonists salute brass instruments on this nine-cut
exploration of some legendary works." - Dick Bogle, Dick's Picks from
The Skanner, Nov. 2005
