Details:
âRomberg resisted the urge to put the jams (MRC Trio) through the same cut and paste process as the Random Access materials, and it was a wise call, for these long evolutions are the most effective way of hearing his own highly individual work. He may owe a sentimental debt to Elvin (Jones), but in his intense musicality and prodigious output heâs closer in spirit to Jack Dejohnette. Random Access Part 3 and Tribal Dance are both jawdroppingly good.â

Brian Morton, Wire Magazine

Drummer-composer-bandleader Barry Romberg is playfully subversive. The Latest installmentâ¦
(RA 3) is full of suprises and good humour, along with a multitude of good groovesâ¦..Romberg displays quick hands, keen instincts and coloristic tendencies behind the kitâ¦.

Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times Magazine

âBarry Rombergâs sound hasnât fully filtered down across that long border separating
his native Canada from the US, and itâs a shame. Heâs distinctive and prolific, swirling his
own brand of originality with established soundsâ¦â¦Rombergâs drummingâ¦..is crisp and geometrical, full of tight grooves, dividing the sometimes swirling music into percussive
departments.â
Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz

â Romberg struck me as the most startling drummer since Claude Rangerâ¦..Iâm truly
convinced Romberg has potential as a future jazz visionary.â

Bill Besecker, The Jazz Report

âRomberg is one of the most innovative jazz drummers in Canada.â

Dennis Slater, FFWD, Calgary

â Romberg plays in a brisk bustling, licety-split manner, marshalling a lot of small, quick sounds with a sharp crack of a rim shot. Itâs a personal style, something that a lot of drummers never develop in careers much longer than Rombergâs to date. He applies that style and all its textures to a heated post-fusion style of jazz, the sort that the Breckers, Bergs, and Sterns are doing down New York way.â

Mark Miller, The Globe & Mail

âThe hardest-working musician in Canada just might be drummer Barry Romberg, who in addition to various sideman gigs, plays in the Barry Romberg Group, The Three Sisters, Inside Out, and the MRC Trio- and distributes recordings by these enembles on his own Romhog Recordsâ¦â¦
Rombergâs got his own style, but there is plenty of Elvin Jones in Barryâs offbeat accents and in his sheer power and forceâand some Jack Dejohnette, too, in his vast musicality and creativityâ¦..Rombergâs skills as a producer are as important as his ability behind his kit.â

Paul Olsen, All About Jazz
