VOYAGE
Jazz from the TODD MYERS QUARTET
Available on:
"The first time playing with Todd was a swinging time. He has a conscious mind for keeping
the time steady and always swinging. Todd is soon to be a major influence on
Jazz musicians of the future."
. . .Jaki Byard
"If you close your eyes you can hear a little of, Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, Art Blakey &
Jeff Watts, but Todd still brings his own sound to the drums."
. . .Earl Turbinton
"Archie Shepp's Quartet was driven by the hard swing of drummer Todd Myers."
. . .Rainer Bratfisch Berliner Zeitung, Germany
"a loose group of soon-to-be important Musicians."
. . .Peter Watrous, NY Times
"Myers, a drummer, leads a band of neo-boppers who prove that mature players need not be
old"
