Next up was the Critical Response Trio with violinist Jason Kao Hwang, guitarist Anders Nilsson, and drummer Michael TA Thompson, accompanied by an eleven piece dance troupe. It was fantastic. The trio, whom I had heard once before exactly one year ago at an intimate concert in Beacon, NY, were spot on again. - Paul Acquaro and Martin Schray, The Free Jazz Collective Read full review
The music was fully improvised, riveting throughout, and evolved impressively from beginning to end. The piece had four distinct sections, giving the set the feeling of a suite with some structural forethought. Throughout the music was presented in equal measures of dark and light, buoyant and submerged, heavy and weightless, vertical and horizontal, these elements often working in effectively as aesthetic counterpoint to one another. - Cisco Bradley, Jazz Right Now Read Full Review
