Press

“They have a huge following in the local jazz scene and also garnered national recognition.”

— WGN-TV National Mid-day News

“26-year-old Koppel takes a conventional form (mainstream jazz) and makes something of it, breaking up the material, avoiding the tendency to just write blowing vehicles.”

— John Ephland, Downbeat Magazine

“An exceptionally mature album by a young guitarist you’ll surely hear more from in this and coming years.”

— Neil Tesser, examiner.com

“Aaron Koppel Quartet Nominated for 2009 Grammy nominating ballot for Best Instrumental Jazz Album. "Falling Together Falling Apart" is in the Best Jazz Instrumental Album category of the Nominating Ballot”

— 52nd Annual Grammy Nominating Ballot

“This is a band of heavyweights.”

— Paul Abella, Chicago Jazz Magazine

“One of the best new bands I've heard in a long time.”

— George W. Harris, Jazzweekly.com

“(Koppel) doesn’t dizzy you with his solos. He pops in when ready, and steps out of the spotlight with taste and grace.”

— Steve Forstneger, Illinois Entertainer

“Koppel’s maturity and musical acumen are notable and his leadership commendable… Pianist Matt Nelson’s playing here is amazing… Koppel’s arrangements allow for strong accent to be placed on group interplay”

— Veronica Timpanelli, jazzreview.com

“On his quartet’s 2009 disc ‘Falling Together Falling Apart’, mainstream guitarist Aaron Koppel established himself as an inventive composer and surprisingly mature 20-something leader.”

— Neil Tesser, Jazziz Magazine
