Reviews

"Gorgeous! Sarah Morrow is the truth—a true master. The AIR is changing. I'm not at all surprised that it sold out in Japan—the US needs Elektric Air! It's an instant classic and yet the sonic chemistry that Morrow, Glasper and Dave have cooked up is groundbreaking at the same time.”

– YVONNE GILMORE, the Cornell West theory

PULSAR Radio, France
"Ray Charles had in his ranks a great musician, Sarah Morrow. For proof, this 1st album Greenlight, is a jewel... A long and beautiful career awaits this talented jazz woman."


Philippe Meziat, Jazz Magazine, France
"On these classical basis and inspired from the bop era of the 50's and 60's, Sarah is imposing herself as one of the most interesting soloists of jazz today."

Kevin O'Connor/Music Director-KBEM-Minneapolis
"Sarah Morrow plays and leads with a ferocity that defies comparison to any of her trombone contemporaries. "Greenlight" is full of curves and textures that will awake the sensibilities of those who seek an original sound. Outstanding!"

Greg Robinson, Jazztimes, USA
"Morrow has a wide sound and a moderately adventurous, bop-rooted approach. Her compositions don't owe too much to any one influence, which by itself sets them apart from a lot of current small group writing. Greenlight is a strong debut by a talented trombonist."

Jean Szlamowicz, Jazz Hot Magazine, France
"Sarah's music is revealing itself with a strength-the heritage of the 60's is here put back with intelligence and sensitivity."

Dwayne Breashears, Program Director, WWOZ, New Orleans
"...pleasant surprise...looking forward to Sarah's progression as an artist in the future."

Jazz Notes Monthly Magazine, France
"The mastery of the instrument is absolutely fabulous-supple, delicate and of the most elegancy in the slower tempo, You Don't Know What Love Is the sound purrs and on the up tempos virtuosity and roundness are always there. I was absorbed in this chant. What assurance, Madame. Bravo! To the discovery of this label."

Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal International
"...Morrow's technical expertise is nicely balanced with taste and swing. She is modern in outlook... but hints at an awareness of tradition...Morrow deserves wider exposure."

Henri Marchal, Semaine des Spectacles Weekly Newspaper, France
"... a young talented woman that has dedicated herself in the mastering of an instrument as difficult as trombone... she proves a personal style and imaginative solos. A newcomer to follow very closely."

Dave Nathan, All About Jazz.com
"Sarah Morrow should be a staple on the jazz scene for a long time to come."

Jim Santella, All About Jazz.com
"Trombonist Sarah Morrow has it all : creative music with a strong foundation and superb musical skills..."

Marc Boujnah, France Aero Magazine
"Morrow has a sharp sense of rhythm, profound melodic intuition, spontaneity and a daring touch, are signs of rejoicing intimacy with her instrument, also illustrated in the ease that flows through all the tunes. An intelligent and delicate record but none the less spectacular. A revelation!"
