… more praise for Half Dozen Brass Band:

• “It is imperative that you check this band out… [They] were so tight light could barely escape.” – Tony Floyd, Flagpole Magazine
• “… without a doubt these cats take off the roof with their live performances.” – jazzandsoul.eu
• “There is a clean sense of symbiosis and exchange in ‘Floatin’ Down Catawba’ and ‘Where Otis Went’—horns speaking back and forth, yet never crowding one another.  HDBB serves up, if not a rebirth, then certainly a hearty dose of the cool.” – Zachary Greenberg, Nashville Review
• “… I was blown away. This is New Orleans jazz at its finest.” – Jordan Stepp, AthensMusicJunkie.com
• “Athens-based jazz band with quite the pedigree…” – Athens Banner-Herald, Marquee Magazine
• “No need to drive from morn ’til night to catch some honest-to-goodness New Orleans jazz, folks. We have a band right here in the Classic City that goes perfectly with crawfish étouffée and red beans and rice.” – Bob Brussack, AthensJazz411.com
• “Stunning, versatile… It’s just hard not to smile listening to the upbeat blasts of Half Dozen Brass Band.” – Michelle Gilzenrat, Flagpole Magazine
• “… an unstoppable groove machine… insane solo playing….” - Keith Robinson, Texas Lutheran University
• “… I will claim to know good music when I hear it. And this, this is not good music. This is amazing, feet stomping, hand waving, marching music. Even [in Athens], in a town so littered with talented musicians and blessed by a thriving rock, punk rock, neo-rock and indie-rock scene, no band in Athens can match the Dixie funk espoused by these bad brass boys…  I’ve seen dancing at many an Athens show; I have never seen a crowd react so strongly and favorably to a song.  Ever.” – Anna Ferguson, Guide To Athens
• “The whole of Easy Street feels comfortable and simultaneously energizing, like stepping out for a night on Bourbon Street.” – Erica Batten, Charlotte Observer
• “Full of nostalgia, Easy Street is a beautiful mix of exuberant joy, upbeat swings, along with a bit of gris-gris and exotic throbbing.  Listeners will be powerfully charmed.” – Observer News Enterprise, Newton NC
