Raising
the Juniper Tree (2001) "THE OTTAWA CITIZEN" Saturday, 6 April 2002 "ARTS" Section "Ethnic music from a country that doesn't exist" is how Ottawa-are guitarist Paul Bourdeau describes the title track from his debut album, a description that doesn't so much illuminate Bourdeau's style as the romantic underpinnings of his music. Backed by drums and bass, Bourdeau's 11 original compositions - inspired by elements as disparate as an alpine plateau in Colorado, a first snow, Shakespeare and the Vendée Globe round-the-world solo yacht races - further solidify his reputation as one of the finest jazz-fusion fingerstylists around. The pacing of the record is excellent; every now and then the trio will yank a frenetic chain, lifting listeners from a generally low-key reverie. |

and
the day came (2001) "Jason Crawford is a most promising chord-melody jazz player in the Lenny Breau tradition: his pianistic stylings tip their hat to his avowed inspirations, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Herbie Hancock." |
