Office Hours
Brose's Theme

"...(Zoller and Hamilton) form a flavorful team while producing music that
contains lyrical beauty and a substantial amount of improvised charm.
...There is a sense of joy coming from this session, making their union a
most pleasant encounter"
- Frank Rubolino/ CADENCE

"...Hamilton's amazing fluency on bass and guitar creates a changing texture
and background, which in turn brings out different aspects of Zoller's playing. It gives the duo many directions to go in and they make interesting choices. Locked in and listening intently, the two musicians work in a spirit of responsiveness and mutual respect that infuses every piece. It's clear, from listening to this recording, that Dave Zoller and Fred Hamilton really enjoy playing together. It's no wonder they do..."
- Tim Cross - JAM (K.C. MO./KS.)

"...duo playing in the classic mould, two musicians working in close consort
to support one another's impulses.
...Zoller is a rhythmically acute player witrh an easy swing and a keen
sense of dynamics. Hamilton is a fine compliment, as supportive on one
instrument as he is on another."
-Stuart Broomer(CODA)

(Medley) Skippin' Through/Drew's World
Boss Freight

"Certainly these musicians are deserving of more attention and recognition. This recording is one that exemplifies exceptionally high standards and filled with a lot of spontaneous creativity. Highly recommended"
- Jazz Chronicles

"Music should create images in the mind of the listener, the more creative the music, the more compelling the images. Dallas-based pianist/composer/arranger Dave Zoller's latest album fashions images which fall into that fascinating category. This salubrious state of affairs comes about because of the play list and the way the Quartet and Septet, ably led by Zoller, address it along with a happy combination of enthusiasm, knowledge and technique."

If I Were a Bell
Early Autumn

"On this sixteen song collection, Genie Grant demonstrates that she has made the most of her (vocal) gift and has honed her craft well over the years...Less skilled singers could destroy everything these composers wrote, but Grant leads us into each piece with a sense of anticipation"
- Bill Fogerty, JAM (K.C. Mo./KS.)

"Clarity of tone is a strong point with Grant... Her song selection includes tunes that have staying power. Gems such as "Early Autumn"and "Speak Low"never seem to go out of style, and Grant gives sensitive readings to them... She has the smoothness of delivery to make the listening experience pleasant, and her band delivers just the right amount of flair to make it all work."

Aging Hipsters
Bluebonnets

"Zoller uses three different quartets on this album to explore four originals, three tunes by Thelonious Monk, and two tunes by Herbie Nichols. The Dallas pianist inhabits the spare, quirky, playful keyboard zone associated with Monk and Nichols and adds interesting extensions of his own.... The saxophonists... have throaty tones and a knack for outside flourishes from time to time.. The bass-and-drum duos...work together hand-in-glove."
-Owen Cordle, JazzTimes

"... a vibrant bop release, one that gets better with successive hearings. ...The fact that all three quartets work together at the same level of skill with such a firm and uniform sense of purpose is a sure indication of their leader's strength ...This is a sleeper, one where the whole is every bit the sum of its parts."
- Lou Kannenstine, The Green Mountain Jazz Messenger

Snug Harbor
J.R. Plays the Blues

"...a generous program of Zoller originals performed by musicians whose swing with ease and solo with authority...Zoller's piano work is consistently sharp and on target, but his compositions are particularly impressive...sound quality is also excellent..."
- David Zych, JazzTimes

"If you had to compare Zoller's jazz to something, it'd be the timeless and exquisite work of Tadd Dameron and Benny Carter. As far as the recording quality here, it's excellent. Credit engineer Mark Holland for that. For the very, very fine jazz, credit the Zoller Sextet."
- Tim Schuller, Buddy (Dallas-Ft. Worth)

"'Snug Harbor' is a small band jazz lover's dream. The solos are consistently intense and exciting... It's an album you will enjoy adding to your collection."

"This is one to savor. From the opening 'Mainstream Madness,' a bluesy chart that's a sheer delight, to the spirited 'Under a Jumbo Moon', dedicated to Al Hirt (with whom drummer Bobby Breaux, bassist Chris Clarke and pianist Zoller worked), this is a package of fresh and inventive music"

-Gene Lees, Jazzletter
