Press Reviews Stumbled up to Border's Books and Records one night and opened the door to the most fabulous new sound in Austin jazz! It was The Jon Barry Project. It took the band about two measures of their mesmerizing, rhythmic contemporary jazz to fill up the seats and create standing room only listening in the coffee shop at Borders. Nobody left early and nobody gave up their seats, because nobody wanted to miss one second of this great group. This band is a must see! Music Austin- http://www.musicaustin.com/jazz/jonbarry.html “You sat behind us at the Rippingtons in Austin and handed us your promo CD as we were leaving. Curious, we stuck it in the deck, skeptical and not expecting much. You know how that goes, not to mention we’d just seen the Rippingtons for God’s sake! Wow! We were blown away, surprised, impressed, shocked, groovin’!!! I personally have listened to it every day since then, my 10 year old daughter jams to it doing homework and must say it is my most favorite choice of listening these days.” Cathi Fly, San Antonio, TX.
