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." |
