Press Reviews "This isn't languorous swoon and swing for the ironic young neo-lounge hepster set; it's passionate, well-executed and uniquely moving." - Rene Saller, Riverfront Times 6/5/02 "Their sound is truly the kind of avant-garde, ultracool acoustic jazz music folks like to hear in New York City nightclubs." - from "17 Bands You Ought To Know About" St. Louis Post-Dispatch 3/17/02 "[For] a jazzy little rocker (or a rocky little jazzer, Bob Bailey's band of Bohemians is well worth hunting down." Darren Tracy, Flush Magazine (1/02) "Think 'cool jazz' or think 'house band in a small west European cafe' but with an American singer...I hope people catch on to this group." Kevin Renick, Noisy Paper (4/01) "The early praise the Bohemians are receiving is well deserved. Clearly the Bohemians are onto something different - a cool jazzy cocktail that's all their own." Kevin Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (3/22/01) "They have an old-skool slow jazz feel, but they take it a step beyond...and they created a masterpiece!" Matt Davis, Musicians Guide and Directory (3/01)
