REVIEWS

Their latest effort is a chordless marvel, a lean and grooving program of six tunes that maintains a taut liveliness from beginning to end.
— Brian Zimmerman, Editor’s Pick, Downbeat Magazine

… predictably unpredictable, grounded yet far-reaching, and irresistibly intriguing in its unfolding. The tenors move along with a combination of patience and attitude, enhancing the underlying feel with their cool-headed, hot-blooded moves…a program that’s both unrestrained and structurally sound.

JJQ’s two-tenor chemistry broadcasts micro-brewed cool with daring flair and dazzling magic, quicksilver bop sopped in swinging ba-da-bings spun from unpredictable rhythms and rich wind-blown tones. …shadowy solos crawling through marinated menageries like cobras eloping with bipolar ghosts.
