Press Reviews St. Paul Vibes player Steve Yeager recorded his CD the old-fashioned way - live in the studio with no over-dubs. This is an impressive debut, on which Yeager’s work favorably recalls some of the top vibes players in jazz: Bobby Hutcherson’s warmth; Milt Jackson’s bluesy, groovy finesse; Gary Burton’s modern conception. The least known tunes are the most intriguing - especially “Say It (Over and Over Again),” a lustrous ballad first heard in an old Jack Benny movie and later immortalized by John Coltrane. Pianist Bobby Peterson is resplendent on that number, while Irv Williams gets a very vocal sound on “When I Fall in Love.” Yeager shows off his flair for arranging on Michel Legrand’s “The Summer Knows,” then proves he can bop a bit on Dizzy Gillespie’s brainy and funky ‘BirksWorks.” Tom Surowicz Minneapolis Star Tribune ************************************************************************************ ... Steve Yeager can easily be counted among the great Jazz Vibe players of today. His sound is beautiful with long phrases spinning through the air effortlessly ... all surrounded by a nod towards the blues. This is a CD to put on when you want a touch of cool. Jazz Lines 1998 ************************************************************************************* I've been carrying around your CD in my portable player for most of the day and enjoying it very much. As a matter of fact, I've found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The choice of tunes is excellent, as are the musicians, as is the quality of the recording. A job well done.
