REVIEWS

The album hearkens to cool jazz counterparts from the past, like early Miles Dav
author: C. Miller
MUCH TO HIS DISMAY... is full of apt arrangements of traditional songs, and ROSS carries the torch of standard jazz in its truest form. Jazz aficionados will be interested in the album if only to chronicle the beginnings of a young talent. Others will appreciate the collection for its atmospheric qualities.

Reminiscent of the late great Wes Montgomery...
author: MX Abram
On MUCH TO HIS DISMAY - Ross is stretching his growing chops in a seven song disc mixing originals such as the basic walking bass line of Sam's Blues and the breezy Latin groove of Ethereal Plane, which features a tasty trombone solo from Scott Forney. Ross also flexes his arranging muscles with a cool, laid-back medley of the standards ON GREEN DOLPHIN STREET, YOU STEPPED OUT OF A DREAM, with Herbie Hancock's DOLPHIN DANCE. He's still learning and finding his voice but his use of octaves and chords in his solos are reminiscent of the late great Wes Montgomery.
