“This fresh quartet (is) a contender for national attention."

- Earshot Jazz

“It’s new music alright but it’s smart and well-played and colorful while at the same time being straight ahead…and most mellifluous. These guys write smart tunes that give the players a chance to shine and listen to each other. They’re inventive without being arty for arty’s sake.”

- All About Jazz (New York)

"Eclectic, accessible, and full of great ideas...This is sure a fun band..."

- The Seattle Times

"...this quartet's winning double-disc set 11:11 (Origin) cogently shifts from sunny boppish melodies to a pastoral calm and then burst into a propulsive groove conjured from Miles Davis...

- The Stranger (Seattle)

"Most impressive is the assurance with which the quartet performs music that, in lesser hands, might bog down in technicalities…Certainly this ranks as one of the better releases from Seattle ranks in recent years.” 

- Earshot Jazz

Big Neighborhood weaves an upbeat but hard-to-categorize geometrical tapestry with odd meters and buoyant rhythms. A group to keep an eye and ear on in the future;  a group to listen to right now.”

- All About Jazz

"Big Neighborhood make their unusual playing with time and rhythms sound second-nature and logical. This group definitely has its own sound and, although connected to the jazz tradition, its playing and improvising are quite original. This is an excellent example of early-21st century acoustic jazz.”

- All Music Guide

"There is freedom built into all the music, which frequently shifts gears and direction...Big Neighborhood integrates composition, improvisation, and ensemble interplay in a polished, professional manner. The group cooks.”
