saxophonist Bob Mintzer and trumpeter Randy Brecker.

Marien
"...highly original harmonic approach to
soloing....an emerging bass talent...one who backs up his stunning
bass work with music of depth and subtlety" - Mike
Flynn, Bass Guitar Magazine
"One of my current favorite bass players
to hit the scene... On Evan's new CD, he displays very mature compositions
and playing. His tone(s) is amazing and Evan has a great sense of
phrasing and time" - Ray
Riendeau, Notreble.com
"I truly think that every electric bassist
(at the very least) should check this out. The playing is straight
killing, Evans tone is wonderful, the band is smoking but, most importantly,
it's interesting to listen to and very musical" - Damien
Erskine, Bass Musician Magazine
Randy
Runyon
"...Runyon approaches the songs like Kenny Burrell
with a Pat Metheny fixation, his dark and stinging notes dancing
over the bar lines with a studied logic. Runyon's playing is calm
and assured, as if he has nothing to prove. And he focuses on the
essence of each melody rather than how fast he can play or the usual
guitar pyrotechnics."
"...Runyon plays like an old soul on his self-titled
debut as a leader. His song selections are far beyond the usual standards
fare including classic and challenging material..."
"A teacher has not done his job well if
the student does not surpass him... "This CD is Randy's compliment
to me and I thank him very much! - Carl
Filipiak - March 2007
This CD should serve as an excellent introduction
to Randy Runyon. - Ken Dryden
