Reviews

"A deep, rewarding listen from a band who are probably even better heard in the flesh. Very fine indeed."
Peter Marsh - BBC Jazz Review

 

"...Their second album it's a giant leap forward - the band has never sounded more cohesive and together, now playing as one integrated unit as opposed to sections, Jazz and Afro-Cuban. Kevin Haynes has matured as a saxophonist displaying a clear pure tone and sharp attack on the alto reminiscent of Jackie Mcleans "Destination Out" Blue Note era... "
Luby "Slavoloco" Jovanovic - Straight No Chaser Magazine

 

"...Ori Ire and 1997 debut album Tomorrows' Path are excellent snapshots, but to really appreciate the music you have to see them live, where they can rip up dancehalls and raise the roof off the most polite jazz bar..."
John Lewis - Time Out

 

"Ori Ire has a dancer's grace....Films makers in search of an instant atmosphere will lap it up"
John L Walters - The Guardian

 

Nominated Best British Based Band 2002 by Daniela Rosselson on San Francisco's Salsa and Latin Jazz site www.salsasf.com
