Reviews

"Boston’s own world-class little big band, six horns plus rhythm, has precious few rivals
in exuberant eclecticism or sheer fun, whether playing original jazz tunes,
interpreting pop chestnuts, or delving into Ethiopian grooves."
–Kevin Lowenthal, bostonglobe.com

"Russ Gershon’s Either/Orchestra is an enduring treasure of the local scene,
continually re-inventing jazz in the most surprising ways. "
–Jay N. Miller, Patriot Ledger, carver.wickedlocal.com

“An explosion of happiness... Everybody plays with a lyricism, a spirituality, a breath, a groove which evokes the best pages of the South African Chris MacGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath: a jazz which is popular, inspired, contraband, generous, open to the world.” –Alex Dutilh, Jazzman, France

“Simply sumptious...numerous elements are present – soul, jazz, funk Afrobeat, traditional music,
Arabic-tinged melodies and serpentine arrangements that run deeper than deep...
a truly thrilling cross-cultural event.”
–World Music Central
