-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRESS QUOTES:About Rob Scheps:
"Incredibly talented" - George Russell ------
" A True Artist" - David Del Tredici ---
-" Young,excellent..one more indication of the depth of the Jazz Renaissance"- NEW YORK TIMES-----
"You sound great!" - Randy Brecker -------
"the Rob Scheps Core-tet, led by the tenor saxophonist in the Gil Evans Big Band and including five other stalwarts from N.Y.C...Almost everyone in this band can WRITE as well as play, and they added some tasty little known pieces.." - The Jazz Report. Canada.....
"a tenor tyro"- Ira Gitler---
"Coltraneish intensity at the drop of a hat" - Boston Phoenix----
"Rob Scheps' tenor goes from reflective to hard-edged modal to reflective again..."- DOWN BEAT---
"these guys were ready to play. Like George Adams, his predecessor in the Evans band, Scheps has a slashing style on tenor. His long burning solo on his composition "Of Green Cheese" was one of the set's high points."-
The Ottawa Citizen, Canada--------
" An imaginative and exciting new voice on the tenor. "- Fred Hersch----
"the most beautiful ballad I've ever heard in my life; A Masterpiece."- Hadley Caliman----
" a fresh voice" - Jazz Times-----
"a tough tenor man " - Kansas City Star -------------
".. exemplary chops and an adventurous aesthetic."- The Oregonian -------
"Holy Mackerel!" - Gerry Niewood-----
"Delicious blends with Glen Moore"- Paul DeBarros, Seattle Times-----
" Saxophonist Rob Scheps has a brawny , muscular tone and delivery on the bandstand that makes one nostalgic for jazz 's once - dangerous qualities . Not one to tread lightly , he possesses a feral sense of musicianship , a feverish jubilance for all things jazz , and a relentless swagger that is utterly infectious -- every gig is high noon .Like both Charles Mingus and Ben Webster ( two famously sensitive , yet combustible players ), Scheps ' take-no-prisoners approach caroms between the beautiful and the brazen - and never fails to engage . We're lucky to call him our own. " - Tim DuRoche, Willamette Week , Portland, Oregon 2005. ----------
" Guest Julius Hemphill shows how it is done... and it is left to Scheps's powerful tenor to show that one of the home team has a striking personality."----Jazz Journal International ------------
" ROB SCHEPS is again hoarsely impressive on tenor sax ( on one occasion, tenor and soprano simultaneously)... Julius Hemphill burns in his lengthy guest solo, but Scheps will not be outclassed (good quote from Sonny Rollins' "East Broadway Run Down"). " - Cadence-----
" New York's Bartokking Heads opened with a brilliant set of Hendrix- inspired eruptions. Rob Scheps has eveolved into a monster saxman, and his rapport with guitarist Ben Sher was often stunning.This was intense, theatrical rock/jazz at times quite close to Hendrix in spirit.Why can't more fusion be this much raw fun?" - Boston Herald----
"Rob Scheps deserves special mention." - DOWN BEAT--------
"The soloists ( on BOB MOSES, Time Stood Still) have a field day, especially
Rob Scheps on tenor sax..." - Jazz Times -------
"A Motherf&%er" - Ed Xiques-----
"I have no doubt that your show was one of the major reasons for the success of this year's Festival" - Jacques Emond, Programming Manager, Ottawa Jazz Festival, Canada, 1994.
"A Master"- Bob Moses ----
"Rob Scheps is a brash,forceful improviser with a quirky sense of humor."- Fernando Gonzalez, Boston Globe--------
"a great saxophone player .." - Butch Thomas ( Sting, Jaco Pastorius)-----
" They had my booty twictching like a Rhode Island Hooker " - The Portland Mercury , reviewing Rob's band Salon Des Refuses .-------

Jacofest! A Tribute to Jaco Pastorius
Friday March 13, 2009

One Show Only at:7:30PM Tonight! $25.00 ALL AGES!
Celebrate the music of Jaco Pastorius, aka: “Jaco,” during what would have been Jaco’s 57th year at this not-to-be-missed Boston première event crafted by long-time Jaco colleague Kenwood Dennard!
This Regattabar performance marks the première of this tribute ensemble outside of New York! Featuring many former Jaco colleagues; it will highlight his compositions and some of his favorites by others. Much beloved by those on this bill, it’s hard to find a better opportunity to take in such a reverent exploration of what comprised the essence of Jaco.
