…his originals convey a general spirit of optimism in the composition and the harmonies. I am impressed by Klobnak’s writing, good themes and open to blowing…certainly Klobnak is deserving of wider attention.  

Friends & Family…this is one of those treats your ears are crying out for.  Killer stuff throughout.

It was Jason’s dazzling brass on “For Them” that made it my personal favorite of the eleven high-energy pieces offered up for your long-term listening pleasure. I give Jason & his quintet a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.98 for this stunning work.  

Hark The Herald has a more Modern Jazz or Crossover Jazz feel than the JKQ records, and it should therefor appeal in multiple formats (no reason Pop, AC, or FM outlets shouldn’t give it some play). What I like especially, though, is that, even with a more modern sound, the Jazz didn’t disappear…Sweet Mother of God! That is manna from heaven. That is where I live. Sweet Jesus!  

Trumpeter Jason Klobnak has a knack for creating inviting and exciting music.  

We saw a fantastic, straight-ahead Jazz quartet in Denver headlined by Jason Klobnak. Musically, it was very memorable evening.
