"Of the many stars to have emerged on the jazz horizon during the '90s, one of the most disciplined, emotive and perhaps underrated is the multi-faced Gregory Tardy...with every release he takes another step forward establishing himself as one the most important saxophonists of his generation". - All About Jazz

"One of the bright hopes...Tardy sounds like a seeker...absolution and salvation in every solo." - The New York Times

"Truly an awesome leader-performer and you'll revel in his inventiveness and finesse...Tardy is THE new talent to watch." - Jazz & Blues Report
"Tardy is a hot, driven player...(who) has the technical capacity and musical imagination to become an important new jazz voice." - Los Angeles Times

"Until you master the blues, anything else you do in jazz is going to sound hollow. Gregory Tardy has not made that mistake." - The Washington Post

* This CD album features the alto sax player of the moment: Logan Richardson, who has just released his first recording, "Cerebral Flow", on the Fresh Sound New Talent label (ABS-115172 / 9.95 €).
