Sharp Little Bones
REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
Jazz Journal’ Barry Witherdon writes, “Producing a double album from a single session of mainly first takes might be expected to result in the inclusion of some relatively lightweight and inessential material, but for my 10 cents there is nothing here that is disposable. Either disc would have made an entirely satisfying album.”
REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
Jazz Views’ Ben Miller writes, “Despite their considerable talents, they aren’t trying to show off, and the non-traditional jazz elements they marshal into their songs sound organic and polished. This is a band to watch to see what happens next.”
REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
Simply Jazz Talk writes, “This is a band I will definitely be keeping an ear open for in the future and if the opportunity arises to see and hear them live I will take it!”
LIVE REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
LJN sings the praises of this fine ensemble.
REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
Bebop Spoken Here’s Lance Liddle writes, “The sum of all parts makes Sharp Little Bones' prolific recording a must have release and an excellent addition to this year’s musical canon.”
REVIEW: Sharp Little Bones
Kind of Jazz’s Rob Mallows writes, “Its calorie-packed contemporary jazz that offers enough to please existing jazz fans looking for something new, and those for whom jazz is still a largely unexplored arena.”
