beautiful and structured rough freshness?.......2005-09-19

Great drummers often make boring records. Not this one! This album is a real band achievement, like it says in the linernotes. There's a lot going on, but I espacialy like the sound of the album: it's edgy and beautifull at the same time.
And very well-balanced. With great guitarplaying of Kurt Rosenwinkel, fantastic drumming of Brian Blade (I saw and heared him do some incredible stuff live at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with Wayne Shorter.) and even the pedal steel guitar is blending in perfectly with the rest of the music. The album's got the warmth of some classical jazz albums together with a little roughness, as found in modern music. Sometimes with an ECM-like touch, but never getting too soft and mellow.

passionate.......2005-08-04

This is what happens when a collective of some of today's not only talented, but passionate musicians gather together to make a recording. Regrdless of tempo or dynamic, the Fellowship manage to cohesively bring each piece together with great intensity and feeling. All the tunes move along with the utmost sense of urgency, but never rushing,each song moves forward and flows perfectly. Led by Brian Blade's masterful drumming( not to mention guitar/singing ability ) and musicianship, this band is one of the few on the current scene who has discovered its collective voice, one which speaks of music with a deeper meaning and spirit.

amazing and beautiful.......2003-01-24

What an amazing album...after a couple listens the record will slowly unravel for you. The ensemble writing is just brilliant! The use of the pedal-steel guitar as an arc of color throughout, makes the whole thing sound like...Daniel Lanois making a jazz record.

a true fellowship.......2002-08-16

When listening to this recording I can't help but sense the
love and empathy that these musicians have for one another. I especially enjoy the interesting blend of horns and electric guitars, and the full spectrum of emotions found in the music that is produced by them. Moreover, I believe this proves beyond doubt that Brian Blade is one of the best drummers to come around since may be Tony Williams. He certainly knows how to inject a sense of what I would call "sound expansion and musical-idea exploration" via his polyrhythmic approach to drumming. And for this reason it doesn't surprise me that he's now touring with Wayne Shorter (check out Blade on Shorter's "Footprints Live" and better yet don't miss them on their world tour!) who is amoung the masters at creating winding, detailed musical stories based on basic instrumental sound patterns.

Simply Amazing.......2002-03-20

Just when I thought that the Brian Blade Fellowship couldn't take me to new emotional heights, it does. Perceptual is Blade's second venture as drummer/bandleader but you wouldn't know that Brian wasn't playing every instrument because he and fellow band members blend so well, fuse so tightly, that it all flows out as simply "one" breathtaking, emotional sound. But... don't think that you won't hear Blade on the drums either, you will feel the highs and lows of his every drum beat as you take the journey into jazz unlike any you've ever heard or will ever hear again.
