At New York Baha'i Center....


John Richmond Quartet
Featuring:

Bob DeVos - Guitarist
Bill Moring - bass
Paul Wells - drums
tenor sound is muscular and his approach on soprano is equally commanding…tune selections exquisite…" Hot House Magazine - New York
"… one of the most promising young voices on his instrument when he emerged in the eighties… revealed a burgeoning ability as a leader and composer… poised to deliver on the promise of his early days." Russ Musto, AllAboutJazz - New York
"...solid...contemporary...individual...quite varied..." Owen Cordle, JazzTimes
…Instead of reaching for facile, emotionally charged climaxes, Richmond primarily invested in the solos as a whole. There was power in the movement and juxtaposition of small, telling gestures. Digressions were brief and meaningful. Only on reflection I realized what a large amount of information Richmond included in every improvisation. It was rewarding to concentrate on the details…David Orthmann, All About Jazz.com
