"The group's prevailing aesthetic is textural('we specialize in color and sound,'as Hemingway puts it), but the legitimate jazz chops of the members supply the music with plenty of kinetic energy." -Bill Tilland, Option
"Tambastics is a quartet of musicians who have pushed back the limits of instrumental expressiveness and, in doing so, virtually turned inside out our understanding of timbre. In their hadns, timbre is no longer the distinctive tone color specific to each instrument but has become a spectrum of possibilities in which all four can blend and merge in an amazing sonic kaliedoscope." -Graham Lock, British jazz critic(from the Tambastics liner notes)
