Reviews

Bobby McFerrin: "An inspired composer ... one of the best drummers in the business ... hits hard and swings all at the same time."

J. Robert Bragonier, 52nd Street: "Eddie Marshall is a leading figure in the evolution of San Francisco's contemporary jazz sound, a complex, modern, "post-bop thing" with intensity, occasional unexpected meter changes, and frequent whole tone and modal excursions."

J. Denai M. Burbank, JazzReview: "... no wonder he's in demand. The West Coast group gives a performance that's lively, reserved, classy and soulful. Marshall has had it for a long time, and the jazz world knows it. Don't miss this one. If jazz be your food of choice…eat on!"

StereoTimes: "His exciting collaboration with San Francisco's best young players is reflected in the contemporary nature of his original music. He is considered a major leader in the evolution of a West Coast jazz sound ..."
