Radiant Blue
Radiant Blue is a deep album. --Jazz Improv Magazine, Fall 2006Schwartz has a classic clear-throated tenor sound and kicks like a mule. His zeal to communicate is fervent yet sophisticated. --Jazz Times Magazine, November, 2006Sharp arrangements and crisp straight ahead playing that hits all the right notes. --JazzWeek Magazine, August 7, 2006The hard-swinging Oakland-based tenor saxophonist has a simmering sapphire-flame tone. --San Jose Mercury News, San Jose Mercury News, August 17, 2006This is the kind of young jazz the majors keep saying they are looking for but not delivering. --Midwest Record Recap, August 7, 2006This is a first-class audiophile product. --Audiophile Audition, December, 2006Schwartz blows with a warm, fluid tone, and great economy... his decisions all sound right... This ensemble shines.... The music bins are full of bluesy jazz albums; this one brims with optimism and intelligence. --JAZZIZ, February 2007
