BANDS

“Rosenboom deftly transplants some of the indelible verities of the second Miles Davis Quintet, particularly his penchant for floating, ambiguous melodies and haunting harmony, within a thoroughly contemporary rhythmic conception.
–DownBeat Magazine

"Los Angeles jazz trumpeter Dan Rosenboom's Absurd in the Anthropocene encompasses extremes in composition and improvisation ranging from high-definition tumult to beautiful tranquility… He and his band—which sometimes expands to 10 members—play with finesse and fieriness in equal measure, executing a kind of spectacular maximalism."
–Dave Segal, The Stranger

"Progressive anger can blast down some ugly walls, and Burning Ghosts' new recording shows how to do it without saying a word (or firing a shot)... This hard-jammin' quartet has jelled. Last year's debut raged with energy, but a span of seasoning and an appropriate alignment with John Zorn's avantist Tzadik label (Naked City, Secret Chiefs 3) have left the Ghosts focused and ready to dominate... If you're wishing for this decade's most potent way of declaring "We're not gonna take it," look no further."
–MetalJazz

“The mighty thunder of Trio Subliminal's second storm system bursts from the guitar of Jake Vossler, the trumpet of Dan Rosenboom and the drums of Tina Raymond. Thousands of shaven-skulled priests salaam before a dog-headed god under fiery skies. Alien messages are scrambled into pharaonic inscriptions for future decoding. Poets dream pure distillations of a time before the psychic veil. Subliminal battles rage behind twitching eyebaals. Everything is understood.”

–Greg Buk, MetalJazz.com

“[DR. MiNT] presents a wow factor on its fifth release… The band generates high-heat and integrates memorable melodies into several pieces, so it's not all about wielding a path of destruction…jazz that generates thrills a minute as some might say. Play it Loud!”
–Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

“Dazzling progressive-jazz Balkan music.”
–Santa Barbara News-Press

“[PLOTZ!] is fraught with grooves and growling riffs, punctuated by hoots and hollers thereat...a primal, boisterous experience that pledges allegiance with cultures the world over...finding equanimity among rock gods and gods made of actual rock.”
