Quotes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

“Most certainly one to watch”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Glenn Astarita (All About Jazz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A rugged trio”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nate Chinen (New York Times)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Definitely Recommended”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jason Bivins (Cadence Magazine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“…his ideas give the instrument a sense of poise”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clifford Allen (Bagatellen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press for Myrrha’s Red Book<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“One of the best discs of the week and unlike anything I’ve reviewed in recent times.”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bruce Lee Gallanter (DMG)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press for Myrrha’s Red Book<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“A record bursting with compositional ideas that are matched by equally sophisticated musicianship. Stapp’s imagination is limitless, his influences truly diffuse, and he realizes his vision due to a type of daring that few artists possess. This record is certain to appear on a number of best of 2015 lists.”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cisco Bradley (Jazz Right Now)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While lauded in writings since then, the Myrrha\u2019s Red Book suite should have garnered much greater attention.”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mike Borella (AMN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A Composer with undeniable facility”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Antonio Branco (Jazz.pt)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce Gallanter
(Downtown Music Gallery)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ecstasis marks the debut of a fresh new voice”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Troy Collins (All About Jazz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A voice that I recognize as one of the most promising in improvised music”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eduardo Chagas (Jazzearredores.blogspot.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Brilliant on tuba…”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gabe Alonso (Rivetingriffs.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
