Yes, we certainly had a good time Friday April 3rd..
Brick's Picks:
This Friday, April 3, is looking good, with a rare local appearance by Swedish guitarist Tomas Janzon
and his excellent quartet (pianist Art Hillery, bassist Nedra Wheeler and drummer Donald Dean) at the Sheraton downtown, running from 6 to 9 pm. His playing is
coolly European, with a wonderful sense of space, and we especially dig his Coast to Coast to Coast
(and the rare Live in Stockholm too).

Coast to Coast to Coast:
"Just the right progression of themes and tempos, just the right variety of long running times with short, just the right instrumentation for any given tune, hitting, as the CD title metaphorically suggests, all the points of the compass, all the coasts and all the landforms between. It’s a tour designed for listening and savoring."
-Bob Gish
JazzImprov magazine, Feb. 2008

"...all are unified by a crispness and intimacy that highlights Janzon’s cool, subtle style."
- Forrest Dylan Bryant,
JazzTimes magazine, March 2007.

"Janzon turns up the flame of jazz’s modern mainstream
through his latest album of adventurous music."
-Jim Santella
L.A. Jazz Scene, Jan 2007
"A cooly imaginative kind of Sco-meets-Wes LA-based gutarist gets some sly, witty touches, steady soul-bop grooving originals..."
-Selwyn Harris
Jazzwise, UK, August 2007.
"...impress you with their low key precision and clever use of space and tone.....should excite listeners
from coast to coast to coast."
-George Harris, Dec. 2006
All About Jazz LA
"The soft strokes of his guitar melt away while delivering lyrical melodies one moment and creating fire in the heart of his audience the next. At his frequent live appearances, Janzon
captivates everyone and won’t let go."
AllAboutJazz-web
...at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art
"Guitarist Tomas Janzon brought his original spirit to LACMA with splendid results. In three powerful sets, he reflected blues-laden memories of Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt, as well as the fire and complexity found in the work of the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Fresh originals and standards such as “Moanin',” “All the Things You Are,” “Here's That Rainy Day,” and “Have You Met Miss Jones” were interpreted with authority. Janzon gave each selection a varied appearance, as his guitar wove intricate melodic patterns through the fabric of familiar song. His fluid lines produced thrilling results and meshed with his musical collaborators effectively."

Thanks for the email :-)
"I was blown away. The set was not only an outtasite groove, but it felt like an aspect of the mass communication mechanism as it raises another phenomenal artistic experience to the minds of music lovers on Earth. We like it real & good. In the least, keep me on your e-mail list. " - Dwight Peterson
