   About JFJO (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey)
>

"As abstractly hallucinatory as it may sound on disc (or wherever), expect material from the Tulsa keyboard trio's most recent album, Lil Tae Rides Again, to unfold gloriously onstage. Expectations, though, are hardly the stock in trade of keyboardist Brian Haas, guitarist Reed Mathis, and drummer Josh Raymer's intensely improvisatory head-fuckery, which embraces Beatles covers, free jazz and just about everything in between."--The Village Voice

"'Lil Tae Rides Again' bathes in electro-blackness, a blood-red island in a skewed fantasy. Gorgeous or beastly, it sticks to your shivering bones."--Under The Radar Magazine

"Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey step through the looking glass to emerge from the shadows of their disparate rock and jazz influences with something wholly fresh. Producer Tae  Meyulks transforms these sessions into a sonic wonderland."--The Absolute Sound

"'Tether Ball Triumph' layers shimmering, overlapping melodic fragments over hushed drum 'n' bass rhythms. The eerie 'Santiago Lends a Hand' sounds like a lullaby for the post-apocalypse before ominous, lurching beats come to the fore. One of the few uptempo pieces here is the dub-tinged 'Discovering the Time Capsule,' where sweet, nostalgic accordion sighs waft through thick, metallic piano chords — imagine Tortoise in waltz mode."--SF Weekly

"Delicious postmodern jazzitude from the Tulsa-based piano trio." 4 of 5 stars. - Mojo (UK)

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

"In my humble opinion, one of the most fascinating trios currently walking around on God's green earth." - SlagwerkKrant (NL)

"....powerfully evocative, making the listening experience alternately trying and transcendent."--Bass Player Magazine

"It swings, it sways, but the jazz trio form in their hands has an almost primitive, inside-your-head, idiosyncratic quality to it that suggests the three are truly one." - Downbeat Magazine

"Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey weave the kind of impressionistic, imaginative new jazz that shatters any kind of identity, much less categories and classifications." - Chicago Sun Times

"JFJO burns with a quiet intensity rather than dramatically explodes. The musicians play with a coiled looseness, improvising with quicksilver yet deliberate force. You can hear the band's power and inventiveness creatively eroding structure, and the tension produced from that is exhilarating. If JFJO isn't moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew." - Jazz Times

"...truly intoxicating."--East Bay Express

Thank you for holding down the Jazz. I can't figure out why Reed went and joined a Christian Rock band. He must have owed someone a lot of money. Anyway I like the new members, can't wait to see what you guys come up with the new blood.
