New York City based saxophonist and composer Logan C. Richardson is a fresh new voice on the alto saxophone. His full, broad sound, wide leaps, along side of a dense harmonic approach are just the beginning of a description of Logan’s unique sound. Logan’s compositions encompass a whirlwind of different sounds and textures, pulling from various styles traditional and
modern.
"Step by step, Richardson works around the edges, showing everything you can do with an alto sax except sit on it."
Tom Hull - The Village Voice NYC
"Logan possesses a vocal-like flexibility and dexterity unlike any alto saxophonist that I’ve witnessed in an alarmingly long time."
Greg Osby - Saxophonist/Composer
"Mr. Richardson, 29, is given to a gleaming, aerodynamic brand of post-bop, intricate but untroubled in its propulsion"
Nate Chinen - The New York Times
"Richardson is a force to be reckoned with who will undoubtedly emerge as a leading voice in the coming years."
John Vincent Barron - jazzreview.com
“‘Logan Richardson knows about that hard-to-describe entity known as the “jazz tradition”.
”
Ted Panken - Downbeat Magazine August 2009
"Logan Richardson’s saxophone playing is incisive, multi-dimensional and remarkably flexible, wrapping and twisting phrases into unexpected origami shapes."
Forrest Dylan Bryant - Jazz Times
““Logan is an alto adventurer with a seductively quizzical sound, a blend of Ornette glee and Braxton curveball."”
Jim Macni - Village Voice NYC
“This hard-working young post-bopper, originally from Kansas City, Mo., has a warm, full sound on alto saxophone and a taste for music that makes warmth and fullness feel inevitable.”
Nate Chinen - New York Times
"Logan Richardson is an enterprising and resourceful young alto player, composer and bandleader"
