Polylemma, by the quartet featuring Joe Hertenstein on drums, Thomas Heberer on trumpet, Pascal Niggenkemper on bass, and Joachim Badenhorst on bass clarinet, explores free jazz improvisation with highly composed pieces as starting points. Half the compositions were penned by Hertenstein, and the other half are by Heberer.
Brisa is the debute CD of tellented Jazz composer Javier Moreno. Brisa is an impressive collection of works by the talented bassist. The performance by the musicians in this ensemble is inspirational; Javier's music gives the listener a nice sonic ride” Ralph Alessi
“Javier Moreno has a vision. He is a passionate bassist as well as a composer of clarity of purpose. The CD is clear evidence of both. His ensemble lines are strong,
while his melodic solos, always energetic, project his rich tone. Javier’s compositions each portray a skillfully crafted tonal story, deeply rooted in tradition, yet strikingly
original, warm and unique”
Ron McClure
"Brandon Terzic....is both original and solidly locked in the tradition at the same time; not an easy juggling act, but one he pulls off with aplomb and grace." – Thomas R. Erdmann Jazz Review
"Terzic combines the poise and dexterity of Hamza Al Din with a
Western-inclusive attitude akin to Anouar Brahem, threading slivers of blues and funk into his more fevered string bending and sounding remarkably self-assured." - Derek Taylor Bagatellen
