timeless recording."
~Jeff Becker~
Jazz Sensibilities
"Clearly the guitarist and bassist have formed a symbiotic
relationship and the music here is proof of that. This music
also hints at a more secret snd soulful connection, one that
comes from a deep love for sound."
~Raul d'Gama Rose~
All About Jazz
"When you hear the opening lines from this duo (Anson's guitars
and bass by Tim) on the title track, you'll realize you're in
the presence of total talent...true jazz perfection in a
wonderfully relaxing set of 10 all-original tunes that will stay
in your mind for months to come...Any person who loves quality
jazz will agree with me when I declare this MOST HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED, and the "PICK" of this issue for best guitar/bass
jazz."
~Rotcod Zzaj~
Improvijazzation Nation
"An example of traditional craftsmanship in a contemporary
scene often dominated by simple gimmicks, Ukiah's
Lullaby(italics) may take a few listens to really catch the
chords, but once a listener falls into these delicate melodies
the heart strings may well feel a serious yank."
~J. Edward Sumerau~
Metro Spirit
"Two guys meant to work their magic together...it is music to
be somehow absorbed rather than simply listened to. One comes
away from their shared ideas and musical mesmerism with an
appreciation of the delicacy of the duo. Both guys have to be at
the top of their game, because there’s no place to hide. On
these ten recital-quality studies of two cats deep in the shed,
it all works to perfection."
~George Fendel~
Jazzscene
"The music in Ukiah’s Lullaby speaks eloquently for itself. The
ten
original compositions from Anson and Tim range from spirited to
lightly
swinging to introspective, and all of the material has
direction, strong
melodic content, and heart."
~ John Stowell ~
"An emotional depth that is reminiscent of great duos like
Evans and Hall.
I am moved by the overall conception, and by the artistry,
intensity,
and restraint..."
~ Paul Pines ~
Director, Lake George Jazz Festival, and author of The Tin
Angel.
Announcing the 2008 release of The Sky At Our Feet, a collaborative CD featuring the music of guitarist John Stowell, the poetry of Anson Wright, and soundscapes from Open Path Music. Please visit the Store link for more information.
