Master Vintage Continues to Impress

"about as perfect a jazz ride as I could ever want"

Modern Drummer Magazine

In April's Gear Guide issue, DRUM! Magazine awarded the new Bosphorus Master Vintage Series its Editor's Pick award in the cymbal category. The new October issue of Modern Drummer Magazine features an outstanding Michael Dawson review comparing the series to "the trashy-yet-deadly-precise sound that Tony Williams made legendary on Miles Davis' Seven Steps to Heaven." ...Dawson continues with "about as perfect a jazz ride as I could ever want," and "very special instruments that rival the most coveted classic tones of Tony, Elvin, and Philly Joe..." We couldn't have said it any better ourselves!

NY Times Neal Smith Review

I can't help but smile as I read the NY Times review of Neal Smith's performance at Small's Jazz Club. I was present both sold out nights as Neal and his star laden band offered up some blistering "no nonesence post bop." Both nights were recorded for an upcoming live album. Proprieter Spike Wilner has found the right formula for this popular Greenwich Village club, offering live jazz seven nights a week followed by open jams until 4 AM.
