Nathan Hubbard Drive (for JS) "There’s a sucking sound like a vacuum cleaner from another side of a wall, piercing pitches that could get a dog barking, ominous bottom-end rumbling and more, all of it coming together to evoke a feeling of quiet, gnawing dread. David Lynch should use this in his next movie. " San Diego Citybeat
|
Nathan Hubbard Blind Orchid "He throws out jittery bundles of pulses that trouble the pieces' slow, resonant atmoshere...It's an album that requires you not merely to listen attentively but to get lost in it" Signal To Noise |
Nathan Hubbard (compositions 1998-2005) "ultimately every sound - whether ugly, prosaic or beautiful - acquires a talismanic force through repetition and accumulation" Signal To Noise
|
Nathan Hubbard Skeleton Key Orchestra "...Hubbard comes out of this one a born leader with a clear and original vision. Skeleton Key Orchestra is one of the most generous, consistently provoking and rewarding albums of 2004." All Music Guide |
Nathan Hubbard Aegis I
|
Nathan Hubbard Born On Tuesday "Using an arsenal of live electronic processing and expanding his drum kit to include its framework and whatever junk is on hand he makes music that is multi-hued....from tranquil bells and chimes to a cacophony of clattering that'll have you checking your hot water pipes for an army of drumstick wielding rodents." Exclaim! (Canada) |
Curtis Glatter Nathan Hubbard Rivulet "a shocking workout in the art of extremes, bouncing to and fro between trashy two-men bashing and supernaturally quiet episodes of whispers and atmospheres....musicianship and composition skills shine as the piece builds bridges between free improvisation, musique concrète and chamber music." All Music Guide |
The Scorpion Decides The Desert Will Prevail Volume Three (to be released October 2015)
|
The Scorpion Decides The Desert Will Prevail Volume Two
|
The Scorpion Decides The Desert Will Prevail Volume One "Recorded live at downtown bar the Lost Leaf, The Desert Will Prevail [Vol.1], by propulsive, jittery jazz fusion of quartet The Scorpion Decides, is relentless....It's a remarkable slice of jazz/funk..." Phoenix New Times
|
Return To One Firecliffs "the ambitious, excellent double-CD set Firecliffs......can be raucous and "out" or crystalline and calm, but they always display a knotty, dense and intelligent compositional point of view, as well as many opportunities for fiery excursions of improvisation." - Gene Armstrong Tucson Weekly
|
Return To One Hopes and Dreams "The elastic tempo changes and metric displacements on "Hopes and Dreams" reveal how tight this quartet can be when they dedicate themselves to a common musical goal." San Diego New Music Newsletter
|
Return To One Promises "...Adventurous free improvisation or highly chromatic compositions that should appeal to listeners who want to be taken to new places" - San Diego New Music Newsletter
|
Cosmologic Eyes In The Back Of My Head "Gracefully modulating from serene introspection to contrapuntal vigor, the quartet transitions seamlessly from open-ended explorations to taut ensemble charts, revealing a knowing maturity enhanced by years of experience." All About Jazz |
Cosmologic III "It's a busy, thoughtful mix, not afraid to use space and near silence . . . . More than impressive." Brian Morton The Wire
|
Cosmologic Syntaxis "the musicians show how good a live unit they must be: the solos are wild (Robinson¹s tenor flight in Axis provides the disc's peak), the beats infectious, the energy freely flowing from one group member to the next." François Couture - All Music Guide
|
Cosmologic Staring At The Sun "With motivated and talented young musicians of this calibre, there's no doubt that jazz can still be a creative force, both for the present and the future. Long gone are the days when things West Coast were considered pallid in relation to anything East Coast, and for any of the doubters out there, here's the proof positive." Marc Chenard - Coda Magazine |
