Wonderful review from Textura of the new album from Zacc Harris, 'American Reckoning,' saying "Authenticity, thoughtfulness, and depth inform Minneapolis-based guitarist Zacc Harris's sequel to his acclaimed 2017 release American Reverie" and "Naturally, one of the album's strongest aspects is Harris's guitar work. His versatility is shown in the confidence with which he adapts to multiple idioms and the strength of his articulation and seasoned tone. He's a player with many years behind him, and it shows in the authority of his expression. It's significant too that the voice he's developed is his own..."Read the full review at:www.textura.org/archives/h/harris_americanreckoning.htmStream or purchase the album at ffm.to/american_reckoning ...

Great 4-star review from Jazz Trail for Christopher Dammann’s ‘Dead Words’ — out this Friday, July 17. “Dead Words offers propulsively swinging, muscular music delivered with an ideal balance of discipline and freedom, feeling simultaneously nostalgic and forward-looking. The equilibrium achieved is masterful, leaving us hoping Dammann returns soon with more music of this caliber.“Order your copy today at shiftingparadigmrecords.com ... See MoreSee Less
