about

Shawn Maxwell’s Alliance
2014 – Shawn Maxwell’s Alliance
“Bravo.”
– Bobby Reed, Downbeat Magazine

“Nobody writes like this.”
– Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

“A singular work of true musical fusion.”
– Hrayr Attarian, AllAboutJazz.com

“Maxwell’s scores proved as unusual as his taste for instrumental color, the pieces shifting from jazz-swing rhythm one moment to classical downbeats the next, from bebop phraseology to long and incantatory phrases to perky, funk-tinged melody making… Nobody writes like this.”
– Howard Reich‚ Chicago Tribune

One of S. Victor Aaron’s “Best of 2014”

“…this special union begat is predictably unpredictable, too. In the best possible way… It’s not just the weapons used but how they’re deployed. Maxwell exploits selective layering and counter harmonies in tactful ways such that it doesn’t ever sound overly dense or cluttered… Shawn Maxwell’s Alliance is a large jazz band album that’s made for those skeptical about large bands.”
– S. Victor Aaron‚ SomethingElseReviews.com
