-Phil Dipietro, AllAboutJazz.com.......
"Offering up his sophisticated support and blowing prowess on the opening "Orange", Jenkins enlists Fiuczynski for the dark, exploratory "Thought Police", slaps scarily on "Zeta Reticuli" (featuring saxophonist Sam Kininger from Soulive), goes chordal and global on "Merkaba", and nods to the groove Gods on a feel-rich cover of Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof". "
-Chris Jisi, Bass Player Magazine. January 2005 issue.......
"Among up and coming bass players, few have the kind of raw power, deep pocket and melodic lyricism that Steve Jenkins has."

Recent NYC transplant Steve Jenkins has been involved with music since the
age of three. After studying piano, trumpet, and dabbling on guitar for a
while, Steve soon found his instrument (or perhaps it found him) when he
discovered the electric bass at age 13. His logic for wanting to play bass
was simple; he just couldn't decide between the drums or guitar. This
partially explains where his eclectic, versatile approach to the
instrument comes from.
In late 2004, Steve Jenkins released his first solo album--the critically
acclaimed self-produced "mad science". It features David "Fuze"
Fiuczynski, Adam Deitch, Jeff Bhasker, Sam Kininger, Charles Haynes and
others.
Some of the musicians that he has recorded, toured, or performed with include: Vernon Reid, Cindy Blackman, Ingrid Michaelson, Thomas Pridgen (The Mars Volta), Wayne Krantz, Corey Glover, Keith Carlock, Screaming Headless Torsos, Dean Bowman, DJ Logic, David Fiuczynski's KIF, Stephanie McKay (astralwerks recording artist), Sam Kininger, Adam
Deitch, Steve Hunt, Eric Krasno(Soulive), Hiromi (telarc
jazz recording artist), Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter, John Blackwell (drummer for
Prince), Sean Rickman, Federico Gonzalez Pena, and many others.
