   About JFJO (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey)
>




"The finished music is effectively a suite, in which JFJO's minimalist tunes and solid grooves are twisted, cut up, turned on their heads, and morphed in and out of dreamlike soundscapes of considerable charm." -All About Jazz, April '08

"....many of the ephemeral hooks, subhooks, and sub-subhooks are powerfully evocative, making the listening experience alternately trying and transcendent. " - Bass Player Magazine, April '08

"These are modern sounds, yet it's like listening to something very ancient and distant." - Rochester Democrat & Chronicle

"Hear some of the latest in jazzoid sounds...with the Tulsa-based Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey" - LA Weekly

"Anyone who digs the new and boundary-pushing is likely to dig what one of the most respected young experimental bands is doing today. " -North County Times

"Dense and surreal, Lil Tae is jazz-informed ambience that refuses drift into "background" sound. " -San Francisco Weekly

"Their own unflappable dedication to their muse(s) often sends them on wildly divergent explorations – one week a semi-traditional jazz trio in the McCoy Tyner mode, the next up to their asses in studio wizardry that'd make Aphex Twin giggle. " -Dennis Cook, Jambase

"Crafted by Reed Mathis (bass), Brian Haas (keys) and Josh Raymer (drums), and featuring the production and electronics of Meyulks, the album is jazz as both exercise in psychedelic nostalgia and adventurous future dance party. " -Corvallis Gazette Times

"This band was born out of a messianic devotion to the idea that jazz means improvisation. They thrive on risk, often creating spontaneous compositions onstage." – Downbeat

"If JFJO isn't moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew." - Jazz Times

"A breadth and vision nearly untouched in modern jazz except by the likes of Wayne Shorter and Bill Frisell." - Signal to Noise 2006

"JFJO - a band unwilling to compromise their creativity for the mainstream ear - has developed a constantly evolving sound unlike virtually anything on today's market." - Jambase

"1 New Jazz Star in America" - US News & World Report

"...they've transported this music back from some distant eon where boundaries between genres have been abolished and music, pure music, pours out like water from a rock in the desert before thirsty Israelites. It's like forbidden technology from the future smuggled back through a tear in the time-space continuum. They are onto something most haven't caught up with..yet." - Dennis Cook, Crazewire.com
