The Mark Weber Poetry Band | Music for Mixed Woodwinds, Poetry & Brass

They may have started as members of the Lennie Tristano school of jazz, but the members of this highly evolved and polished quartet, as much a collective as the band of pianist Crothers, has ventured far beyond the tenets of Tristano.

CCQT | Connie Crothers Quartet | Ontology
The most striking aspect of the music they create is their ability to communicate their individuality while blending into a functioning, cohesive ensemble. — Art Lange, June 1999

Richard Tabnik Quartet | Life at the Core
Wispy and smooth, Tabnik transforms passages from Desmond-ish cool to stark, brightly lit punctuations which outline his solo phrases. With sparse articulation and an almost un-bop approach, the solos which are featured on this recording defy any predecessors. — Jason DuMars, Review (c)1996
Richard Tabnik Trio | In The Moment
“…Aptly titled… Music shaped by the moment’s inspiration… They can pursue uncharted paths with confidence and musical vocabulary rooted in past moments of the jazz experience…” — Lois Moody, Jazz News
Richard Tabnik | Solo Journey
“…a great musician with a unique approach that’s not a household name but still deserves world class attention… His solos are models of melodic improvisation…his conception is as vivid as it is unique…a saxophonist of unquestionable ability…” — Tim Price, Saxophone Journal
Connie Crothers – Richard Tabnik | Duo Dimension
“Tabnik and Crothers obviously share close ties in this music which is both individualistic and a direct descendant of the late pianist/teacher Lennie tristano. Substantial and refreshing.” — Lois Moody
