Avi Granite's Verse

Ralph Alessi trumpet
Avi Granite guitar
Jerry DeVore bass
Owen Howard drums

"...at once intimate and spacious, a cocoon of enveloping musical passages and revelatory compositional turns. Granite and trumpeter Ralph Alessi nudge and prod their improvisations into glorious flight. Rewarding, and highly recommended."
- Guitar Aficionado Magazine

" * * * * " - Stereophile Magazine

"Granite displays a maturity and clarity of vision..."
- Michael Roberts Jazziz magazine

"Granite has a gorgeous, clear, intimate sound... Snow Umbrellas is rewardingly listenable"
- Glen Hall Exclaim Magazine

"...a genuinely contemporary sound, moving from pensive introspection to moments of wonder..."
- Stuart Broomer The Wholenote Magazine

"... add Avi Granite to your list of players who deserve wider recognition."
- Chris Robinson
