"That music you guys were playing at Borders was awesome. It's the kind of stuff I'm always looking for but can never find.
I'm going to use your music as inpiration to elevate my poetry.
I wish someone from ECM could put an ear on it."

"....I wanted to thank you AGAIN for the Adelante CD you slipped me years ago. You have no idea (well, maybe now you do) how much I've enjoyed it all this time. It's great to get up with, and great to go to sleep with as well. Last night AND this morning I played it/ it probably hits my player about once a month which is pretty "heavy rotation" for me. So dreamy, so eloquently played. Still makes me think of Weather Report, esp. "I Sing The Body Electric". A job well done ..... George Wallace (recording artist).


I recently viewed/listened to Adelante's performance from the Schoodic Arts Festival in Winter Harbor, ME. Once again I find myself comparing them to Weather Report...specically during the time of "I Sing The Body Electric" with Miroslav Vitous on acoustic bass...nothing retro here, just a serious nod to a wonderful band!

I'm not a fan of jazz, but Adelante's original approach to jazz/improvised music really captured me...Jody's drumming is "A Heartbeat, A Natural Force That Pins You! "...Woz and Xar really are wonderful players that are right there with Jody...

You guys are the new "Weather Report" only better!...Why aren't you playing larger venues as an opening act for national and international touring jazz artists. You guys are playing killer music!

"Adelante is a jazz force to be reckoned with...lively, energetic and always a crowd pleaser. The Fuel House always considers it a privelage to have them perform on our stage...and always to an attentive and appreciative audience"

These guys can definitely play...and don't be surprised someday if you see them scoring a movie soundtrack...

I feel and experience a beautiful and tender world through “Adelante’s” music…

Just listened to the CD. GREAT MEDICINE!!! THANKS!!!

“Adelante” should be a welcomed addition to any music library. Its masterful musicianship, superb sound quality and earnest, free-form approach will take you places you’ve never been. It will expand your mind and heart…

“Adelante’s” delicious improvisations knitted me and my soul together…Wow! What a journey these musicians take you on…

This ensemble is absolutely fantastic. You will be taken on a musical journey like no other you have ever experienced…

“Adelante” performs improvised music of the highest order. The musicianship and creative output of the members of “Adelante” are somewhat other-worldly…”Adelante’s” music is not to be missed…

One rarely has the opportunity to experience music of such incredible depth…very uplifting and creative…

“Adelante” recently performed at Borders in Mays Landing, NJ…What else can I say, the music and musicians were awesome…

The amazing part was that they kept the music interesting for 90 minutes straight…without a break! They passed through many different sonic/musical landscapes…

Musicians of the highest caliber…“Adelante’s” creative output is pure artistic joy…a musical journey you won’t soon forget…

This is very cool music…check “Adelante” out as soon as possible…

The combination of these musicians and the wealth of experience between them…the musical result is nothing short of incredible…

I would urge everyone to attend an “Adelante” performance…They were wonderful at the “Washington, D.C. Loop Show”. Ethereal, meditative, with some very melodic drumming…
