Reviews:
"We
received your disc. It's excellent! Sounds like Monk meets Moby by way
of the Cinematic Orchestra. All of the tracks are compelling - the hard
part will be deciding which we'll play on October 5. Thanks for this!"

"Jazzy
cooks up the kind of seasoned audio gumbo that is delicious.
The
result of much experimentation and toil, Jazzy's flavors meld together
into a simmering fusion.
Do
you detect a honky tonk salty sprinkling of Jelly Roll Morton's echo?
The
layering of tight old school Kraftwerk-inspired techno?
A
folding through of Keith Jarrett's subtle romantic streak?
What
about the zesty hard beats from 80's New York, blended with a generous
dollop of vibes via Herbie Hancock's Headhunters?
Wait
a minute - is that a pinch of Zawinul-influenced exotic spice?
Maybe
there are even a few master's hints in the pot gleaned from the old school
electronica chef, Milton Babbit.
One
thing is for sure. Jazzy Burn's has been cooking for quite some time,
working to create The "New" Groove.
You
could spend a long time trying to isolate all the ingredients to Jazzy's
secret recipe.
Or
you could just dig in. Go ahead and savor the juice - bon appetit!"
