“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.

Absurd in the Anthropocene
Absurd in the Anthropocene

"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

Burning Ghosts
Burning Ghosts

"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."
