Steve Grossman's first album is one of the few I've heard
that could please both jazz/rock enthusiasts and jazz listeners who are willing
to travel a bit beyond mainstream.
Bill Wahl, Buffalo Jazz Report |
"I love the sympathy with which these four play off each
other. This little record shows a good look at where the music is going."
Stephen Davis, Changes |
"Grossman's debut is a monster! Grossman is in total control
of both horns and plays hard and full of life... SHAPES is a great album. I
suggest turning it up and floating away with it."
Mike Miller |
This album spotlights [Grossman's] all-out talents on the
tenor and soprano saxophones. His accompaniment is strong from Jan Hammer, Gene
Perla and Don Alias. All of these musicians feed off one another and the
outcome of this album is a musical success.
Billboard's Top Album
Picks |
"Some Shapes To
Come is one of those recordings that every serious musician cherishes.
Grossman, Perla, Hammer and Alias are a SERIOUS dream team. This is required
listening for any jazz musician and/or fan."
Christian McBride, November
2005 |
| "I'm a bass student at Berklee, and last
week was the first time I ever heard Some Shapes to Come. When it came
to fusion bands, people always talked about Weather Report, Mahavishnu, and
Return to Forever. Some Shapes to Come blew me away. I thought it was
deeper than anything that I had ever heard. That's why I got on the Internet to
find more material. I played Haresah three times in a row the first day,
it's incredible. Thank you very much." |
| "I've been listening to you since I was 5,
and as soon as I heard Some Shapes to Come, I wanted to play music. The
vibe you guys would get into, like on The Sixth Sense, the stuff is
amazing!" |
"One of my top ten all time Jazz
Masterworks."
Ron Thomas, Nov 09 |

It's a hard energy, hard blowing, driving jazz date with some
fantastic tenor work. "37 Willoughby Place" is a gas, offering supercharged
tenor/drums and Moog/drum duets. They don't relax until "Relentless Lady" on
side two -- a gentle ballad by Perla. "Katonah" & "Inmate Man" are funky
tenor blowouts.
Bill Wahl, Buffalo Jazz Reports |
Jazz the way you like it, a nice mix of hot, cool,
progressive and sharp... Very programmable material.
Midwest Record
Recap |
| "I wanted to thank you for the Terra
Firma CD. It's great to hear exciting, uncompromising music. I have been an
admirer of the group and each of its members individual efforts for 30 years,
and it's nice to be able to access the music. Please continue your great work
and contributions. I'll be back for more." |
