“Weighty but not heavy-handed approaches to contemporary issues manifest clear-eyed social conviction through compositions of fire and substance.” Downbeat Magazine “Precise, clever, penetrating logic… distinctive ideas.” The Village Voice “John Leaman’s compositions are rhythmic and harmonic mosaics developing rich deep tones…. makes a lasting impression.” Jazz Life Magazine (Japan) “Leaman’s writing is refined and original… always balanced thanks to a an excellent capacity for arrangement.” Musica Jazz (Italy) “Covers the spectrum from sweet harmonic textures to fierce discord and agitated rhythms…maddeningly catchy melodies.” CMJ New Music Report “Some of the best music that you’ll hear…truly an inspiration.” Wire Magazine (England) “Auteur Leaman reveals a rather languid romanticism spiked by a sharp dramatic sense. It’s a sensibility reflected in the melancholy shadings of the arrangements. The shifting moods of the compositions and ironic use of gesture.” Musician Magazine “Symphonic poems. Descriptive and elaborate with intricate rhythms. Music of exceptional quality. The writing is really beautiful, colorful and rhythmic.” – Jazz Hot (France)
