JAZZ: Acid Jazz, JAZZ: Bebop
Details:
This Steve Herberman CD (Action: Reaction) is everything its title suggests and is truly something out of the ordinary. His compositions put a smile on your face and they feel “at home” right from the first listening. Each one has a mind of its own; all of this a major achievement for an album of original music.
Steve’s improvising is uniquely fresh with melodic ideas that twist and turn and perk your interest with occasional elements of humor as well. There is a constant groove in his solo lines. He shows prowess harmonically and linearly with an abundance of chops and with an exceptional clarity to it all. His fellow players Drew Gress and Mark Ferber are also brilliant soloists and display the same kind of ingenuity, creativity, freshness and response at all times. The trio maintains a general “cooking” quality throughout the entire recording.
-Jazz guitarist Gene Bertoncini
"His talent has such an energetic flare, with his own voice, that he cannot help become a major force in jazz," writes Jude Hibler of 20th Century Guitar magazine.
Jazz guitarist Jimmy Bruno states "Steve Herberman is one of the freshest new jazz voices on the scene today."
