Description
“The sextet skirts the outer reaches of straight-ahead jazz, innovating while drawing from tradition.”
– Sharonne Cohen, JazzTimes
“A master class in musical power...a profound, true recording.”
★★★★1/2 Stars.
—- Carlo Wolff DownBeat Magazine
“It’s...absolutely impossible to resist this excellent album — inspired and referential, offering such beautiful musical moments that we might have never known. Little by little, this style of jazz reveals a modern, contemporary, and almost contemplative vision.”
---- Thierry De Clemensat Paris Move
“Like any great artist, Weiss is dedicated to taking uncharted paths and telling new stories to his listening public.”
---- Dee Dee McNeil Making a Scene
"It's the kind of music I had in mind when I first started blogging all those years ago - bop, hard bop, post bop and beyond (albeit not too far beyond). A contender, maybe numero uno."
---- BeBop Spoken Here
"The sheer energy and musicianship on display make it a compelling journey from start to finish.”
----Jazz Trail
“Wow, talk about a smashing hard bop album. If Blue Note were still under the command of Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, this is what their output would sound like.”
----- Marc Myers Jazz Wax
Praised by The New York Times and the Village Voice for its bold inventions over the years, Weiss’ music evokes emotional complexity — abundance and loss, the collateral beauty of pain — and transmits a deeply personal sound informed by his strong connection to hard bop and swing, avant-garde and free improvisation, salsa, soca, fusion, and hard rock traditions. Across Auteur, the Queens native creates exquisite chambers of sound for his fellow artists to explore. Their ability to stretch each tune collectively and as supreme individualists serves Weiss’ intention for the music.
