Press Reviews ...a solid, exciting amalgam of original jazz. To put a fresh spin on the 'he-plays-the-sax-so-he-must-be-Coltrane'comparison, I liken Jason's tone to John's, but this local prodigy plays with such wide musical understanding that he has never needed a 'New Zealand Miles' telling him to "take the damn horn out of his mouth".The truly wonderful backing on this solo release makes it an ensemble album in every way. ...A sumpreme, understated release from an impressive new name in Kiwi jazz.
