DJ Emanuel Ferritis, 103.3 WPRB in Princeton, NJ-

"Tim Conley, "Ocean Exposition" - Self Produced -
Trenton-area guitarist releases a fine jazz album.
Think John McLaughlin''s "Extrapolation" mixed with the
ECM sound. Will somebody please sign him?"

CD review from TAXI-Independent A&R Company: Jan/Feb 2004

"Great material, well produced and nicely presented."
(The title track Ocean Exposition)"...slowly builds for almost eleven minutes...I love the transition from the intro to the first main section - a bit unexpected. The meter in 5 always opens some unique possibilities...The juxtaposition of 3+2 and 2+3 is in a cool rhythmic shift... Structurally, the piece is pretty free- while sections are clear, they have rather wide boundaries. The strongest part of the piece for me was the tension that builds between the sax and guitar...The unison lick they end up on is really cool!"

Rhythms of the Sea
By: Daniel Shearer, TimeOFF(Princeton Packet) 4/21/04

As a youngster, Tim Conley spent a lot of time at the Jersey Shore, so it seemed logical to name his band, the Ocean Exposition, after his favorite childhood playground.
Performing with Electric Jellyfish, the Yardley, Pa., native had been writing songs with a side project in mind. When the members of Jellyfish went separate ways last year, he approached his roommate, Jon Thompson, a saxophonist and performer with the genre-defying outfit named Lazlo, about putting together a band.
They recruited Ewing drummer Joe Falcey, bassist Jason Fraticelli, a Pennsbury High School alumnus, and started playing at Joe''s Mill Hill Saloon in Trenton, John & Peter''s in New Hope, Pa., Tritone - a club on South Street in Philadelphia - and Conduit in Trenton, where the band will open the Jazz Mandolin Project''s upcoming show. Also at Conduit, the band recently opened for the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, and the avant-garde jazz trio Living Daylights.
"Jellyfish definitely had a lot of jazz influences," Mr. Conley says, "but it also was very funk influenced. (The Ocean Exposition) went more of a rock way, as opposed to funk. It''s definitely a jazz fusion, but its got more of a rock vibe than a funk vibe."
Ocean Exposition released its first studio album in January, a dreamy, well-mastered six-track collection recorded at Retromedia Sound Studios in Red Bank.
"Dawn on the Water," the recording''s six-minute opening track, begins with the sound of surf and a gentle line on upright bass. Mr. Conley offers clean chords from his hollow-body guitar, while Mr. Thompson delivers the first hint of a melody, which repeatedly passes from sax to guitar and back again. "Ocean Dream" unfolds in five-measure bars, with Mr. Falcey riding light on a cymbal and punctuating the rhythm with an occasional rim shot. "Laughing Face" is a playful romp with a Latin feel.
"We basically did the whole thing live, in the studio," Mr. Conley says. "Almost every song on there is in odd time signatures, and it really just kind of felt like water, the rhythms of the ocean."
