★★★★½ ”Polarity is a jewel of intensely played music and interactive creativity performed with openness and edginess in the company of a top-notch quintet.”
–JazzTrail
★★★★ “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
★★★★ “A performance which gushes with energy and dexterous playing by all involved… An inspired session from a trumpeter whose voice seems to become more idiosyncratic with every release.”
–All About Jazz
“With a mix of ferocity and intrigue, Rosenboom and his ensemble deliver scintillating creative music where each one of these musicians shines.”
–Making A Scene
“Dan Rosenboom finds a powerful conduit for his creative ideas in Templeton, Escreet, Mohler and Reid, enabling him to fulfill the promise of all of his compositions with the uncompromising Polarity.”
–SomethingElse Reviews
“The rest [Polarity] presents six fine-crafted Rosenboom compositions that find the leader's technical poise matching the band's empathy and drive… combines the focus of the classically trained with the expressive power of left-field jazz… this band lets his poised musicianship and edge-of-seat improv flourish.”
–Jazzwise Magazine
