"Pianist Richard Sussman is among the most ambitious composers on the jazz scene today. His latest project, the epic Evolution Suite, exemplifies this creative outlook with dignity and self-assurance." - Brian Zimmerman, Downbeat Four Stars! ✮✮✮✮ "A cohesive work displaying his mastery of composition and improvisation. Filled with diverse rhythms and themes, a palpable excitement, fascinating electronics, and very beautiful moments – the effect of all of this is thrilling." - Laurel Gross, NYC Jazz Record "It was an amazing and very impressive work! BRAVO & CONGRATULATIONS! " - Rufus Reid "Beautiful piece, Richard. Congratulations!" - Kenny Werner "I checked out your "The Evolution Suite". WOW!! Great! What an ambitious project. Bravo!!" - Ed Neumeister "a flair for well-wrought melody and firmly structured solos... with an interest in dark, deep, and even mysterious themes." - Neal Tesser, Downbeat "Sussman's excellent composing and playing is the driving force at the center of Continuum. Whether weaving a tender meditation like "The Wayfarer" or building a solo whose intricacy seems to reflect his kinetic energy, Sussman mines countless riches from the keyboard." – Terrell Holmes, New York City Jazz Record write your comments about the article :: © 2017 Jazz News :: home page |
