praise for JOY NOT JADED, now available on OA2 Records

"The Millennials are here… On this fine, high-energy set, the pair and their band craft a modern-leaning sound that remains true to the post-bop tradition." Don McClenaghan, All About Jazz

"A surprisingly coherent sound, with clear and intermingling parts, strong solos, and repeating motifs that let the full ensemble shine together… an excellent album, especially for a debut effort." Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide

"This music is just damn good! Melodic soloing, infectious grooves and a sense of style which illustrates the future of jazz is in good hands." Philip Davia, Chicago Jazz Magazine
