avi granite:6 red tree

" * * * * " - James Hale Downbeat Magazine

"...slick charts and distinctive structures... Thick ensemble work, strong shape-changing melody narratives, diverse textural colour and a kind of loose togetherness..."
- Geoff Chapman Coda Magazine

"Avi Granite and his serpentine guitar, half-intellect, half-instinct, fatten up a whole new jazz sound... Red Tree is flavourful and accessible, for jazz of such original coinage. I loved it..."
- Jeff Mahoney The Hamilton Spectator

"Toronto guitarist Avi Granite delivers an impressive collection of twisting melodies and free-form arrangements on the follow-up to his debut Avi Granite:5..." - Chris Bilton EYE

"...chalk-full of invigorating improvisational change-ups, restless rhythms, and developing melodies that seep through like fresh moisture in a well-aged barrel in the barn."- Eric Theriault PANPOT

"...boisterous, well-conceived, edgy music."
- Peter Hum Ottawa Citizen
