| Scott Reeves Jazz Orchestra featuring Carolyn Leonhart Appearing at Birdland Sunday, February 10th 6:00pm - 7:15pm Selected Reviews: Downbeat Magazine: "Reeves arrives at his sound – modern metric ideas, sweetly stacked harmonies that move in surprising directions, atypical musical alliances – by utilizing the full scope of his playing experience." (Suzanne Lorge) London Jazz News: "His new release, Without a Trace, contains originals and standards, colourfully orchestrated, with an intimate, club-like ambience. These pieces really are 'composed'…there is always a feeling of forward travel." (Nigel Waddington) New York City Jazz Record: "This is an excellent example of both modern big band music and the arranging of Reeves." (Scott Yanow) Jazz Times: "Scott Reeves Jazz Orchestra is a wonder…hot compositions…a sizzling band…an assemblage of brilliant artists…the music is exciting, even thrilling." (Travis Rogers) All About Jazz: "Reeves is a resourceful writer with…a keen ear for melody, harmony and counterpoint, his arrangements scrupulously burnished and invariably engaging." (Jack Bowers) Stereophile: "Within the highly specialized, invaluable, economically endangered discipline of composing and arranging for large jazz ensemble, a new badass has arrived. Reeves's touch is always deft and light, his designs traced in fine lines."
