Reviews for 'On Patrol With The Jazz Police' -
'Elizabeth Geyer's third album re-boots the momentum driven by 'The Dream' where the aesthetic is blurred between an original contemporary jazz edge and a pianist-singer-songwriter sensibility. Her yearning tone adapts to a range of emotions and desires in her lyric.
While much of Geyer's thought provoking poetry is open for personal interpretation, these compositions and arrangements, especially the energetic pieces include qualities of climactic drama and surprise. I didn't want the crescendo of 'A Candle Is Sweeter Than Fire' to end.
Most of her trumpet/flugelhorn acts as improvised gilding but complements the dynamic between Bill Risby's and Jonathan Zwartz's bass.
ABC 'Limelight' Magazine
'Elizabeth Geyer sounds like Elizabeth Geyer. There is no greater
compliment. She's got her own sound and it's beautiful.'
JAMES VALENTINE ABC
' Elizabeth has just released her third and finest album to date ‘On Patrol with the Jazz Police’ to critical acclaim'
www.jazzandbeyond.com.au
'There are two sides to Elizabeth Geyer, who writes, sings and plays trumpet, flugelhorn and piano. She is an aspiring adult pop artist with jazz inflections and a jazz artist with pop leanings ... both work here thanks to a lovely voice and some fine playing by her and a band of excellent jazz musicians'

On Patrol With The Jazz Police

An unforgettable, brilliant collection. Elizabeth Geyer is an enchanting vocalist, superb songwriter, and accomplished musician; I have rarely encountered artists as fine as she.
The songs on this CD are magical from every perspective; my favorites are "Elina" - rich and touching with breath-taking arrangement, "Beautiful Spiders" - light & clever, wonderfully catchy lyrics, and "Stunned" - one of the sweetest love songs I've ever heard.
This album will make you happy !

On Patrol With The Jazz Police
author: Jon Young
This album is already in my lifetime hall of fame, one I will listen to relentlessly for years to come. There are layers of stylistic complexity that suggest influences by a wide variety of other artists, but Elizabeth combines them to make a unique style all her own. I hear lyrical suggestions of Joni Mitchell and Joe Jackson, piano suggestions of Lyle Mays and Chick Corea, horn suggestions of Miles and Hubert Laws. These elements weave in and out like the complex structural elements of a world class wine, demanding that you have another sip to see what comes next. The songs themselves are a wonderful tapestry of character studies and essays on the dynamic tensions in human relationships. The production is fabulous, very well recorded, original arrangements, spot on performances from everyone involved. Bravo, Elizabeth!
