Praise for Quinsin Nachoff...

Of note also is the tenor of Quinsin Nachoff. With a bristling tone, an exact rhythmic sense, and an ability to get around the instrument that only a handful of saxophonists can profess, Nachoff is one of the strongest players in the country. I put him in the ranks of Donny McCaslin, Seamus Blake, and Dave Binney in terms of his awesome talent.
--Adam Kinner, Montreal Gazette Blog

...an impressive display of sizzling, post-Coltrane inventiveness.
--Don Heckman, LA Times

Tenor saxist Quinsin Nachoff in particular sounded absolutely terrific, with a mature and beautifully soft sound most pleasing to the ears.
--Josephine Ochej (regular contributor to The Jazz Review, the Westender and Coda Magazine) on hearing Sunna Gunnlaugs Quartet in Vancouver

I listened to your CD just before I left my home for this most recent trip, and I'll be honest with you: I think your CD is as good or better than any other CD I've heard in the last couple of years or more. Seriously!
--Peter Erskine
