WORDS FROM THE PRESS

Boshnack can scream or play it sweet.  (All About Jazz New York)

These first three tracks make full use of the sextet’s collective character, though do stand out stylistically as Boshnack’s – patient horn interplay supported by heavy bass grooves, some with structural rhythmic phrasings that lend a larger dimension than a sum of parts. (Earshot Jazz)

Boshnack is in possession of an acerbic wit and an encyclopedic knowledge of all sorts of music from bargain-bin to top shelf.  (The New York City Jazz Record)

Samantha Boshnack’s open voicings, jaunty tempos and buoyant timbral mixes have a friendly monster feel that achieves a bittersweet and elegiac mood of orchestral grandeur.  (Downbeat)

Boshnack’s tight, buoyant writing for this pianoless chamber sextet’s four wind instruments (two brass, two reeds) is a highlight, recalling West Coast arrangers like Rogers. (Seattle Times)
