Press Reviews "His warm tone and fertile imagination mark him as a trumpeter to watch. Buck's writing...impresses here. His composerly vision predominates. The music is intelligently structured to move forward in a logical almost mathematical manner, and yet there's an organic quality about the groove.... he has developed a substantial body of work based on the concept of interweaving lines, shifting polyrhythms and improvising within irregular frameworks. Steve Coleman may have pointed the way with his Five Elements and M-BASE experiments, but Jonathan Buck is definitely in the vanguard of that movement with The Catalyst." -- Bill Milkowski, CD liner notes. ********************************************************* "Trumpeter Jonathan Buck puts down some interesting funk on his debut, 'The Catalyst'. In his mid-20s, the Toronto-based Buck is no hard-bop clone. The mostly quintet CD has some of the acidity of the M-BASE crowd, but Buck has an ear for writing compellingly tangled lines. His legato tone contrasts well with the strutting beats." -- Karl Stark, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Sunday Februaury 11, 1996
