Sweet Press!

The media blitz is on! We're really feeling the love from the press. I thought it would be cool to have a collection of it here. It all comes from an extremely diverse group of people, and it's in a bunch of different forms.

Perhaps my favorite of all the kind articles written is by Eric Benson, (creator of "Inverted Garden," which AllAboutJazz defines as "A New York jazz chronicle offering weekly previews and essays on the music's evolution in the digital age"), titled "Dance Music and the Joys of the No BS! Brass Band." The whole idea is that our music is a social beast; it should be enjoyed with friends. He makes some nice comments about the new record too, saying "It was well recorded and inventive—tight funk with an ear for subtle hip-hop..." Eric's article has been picked up by NPR, AllAboutJazz, as well as a few others.

A close second on my list of favorite press, is an audio segment that aired on WCVE a handful of times. Long-time host of the jazz segment, Peter Solomon put together a great piece that is a great description of who we are. Pay careful attention to Marcus's initial feelings on our cover tunes!

There were some other great reviews of the record release show, including this one from the Commonwealth Times

It's so exciting to be this well-received in the media. Having a friend call you to say he heard you on the radio or read about you online is a great feeling. We're heading to Gainesville for The Fest this weekend. I'll make sure to give an update on sunny Florida.

See y'all later!
Dillard and No BS! Brass
