"Whether covering a standard or playing an original, whether funky, a dirge, or a rag, Blue Bone Express, aka BBX, infuses its own sound."

“Their eclectic mix of original tunes and old favorites ... guaranteed that even the creakiest knees were flexing and bouncing on the narrow dance floor.”

“This isn’t Be-bop or Swing or the New Thing. This is the Real Thing. This is living, breathing, spitting Jazz music. It’s not revival music. It’s not museum music. It’s music inspired by a tradition and informed by it’s own time.”

“The coolest jazz brass band in Northern California.”

“They are (dare I say) as entertaining as any rock show I've seen in the Bay Area... Overall, this show is a must see ... even if you aren't a big jazz fan.”

“Blue Bone Express [is] an eccentric little combo mixing NOLA-style Dixieland with bop, blues and bachelor-pad improvisation... One song and you'll know these people love to play jazz as much as anyone's ever loved anything...”

“If there's any hope for the future of [traditional jazz] music it's going to come from musicians like [BBX]... who are willing to do something more with the music... There's nothing hackneyed or contrived in what these guys play. They sound utterly natural doing what they do.”
