LOCAL DIALECT RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS

 

"Jay Azzolina delivers as impressive of a performance as one could possibly hope to achieve on his latest album Local Dialect. Azzolina demonstrates that he is one of the finest and most talented guitar players on the planet."

 

- Brandon Bernstein from Jazz Improv, Vol. 8, No. 1, Spring 2008

 

"Azzolina has produced a cubist-inflected computer assisted masterwork. "

 

- Ken Micallef from Downbeat, April 2008

 

"Always compelling, Azzolina plays with assertiveness and complexity without shouting."

 

- Jeff Potter from Modern Drummer, April 2008

 

"Dialect really is a strong release, with some memorable compositions, that often have a hint of the bittersweet."

 

- Joe Bendel from JB Spins, Nov.28 2007
