Airborne - Reviews

“After decades of making inspiring contemporary jazz to critical acclaim the esteemed ensemble has decided now is the perfect time to take a look back and showcase some of the quality music that has characterized the group’s recording existence.

With two brand new tunes destined to become classic numbers Airborne makes it evident that the group is presently at the height of their musical flight and offers great optimism for the future. Airborne is recognized for continually bringing imagination, positive energy, and deep passion to their jazz compositions.

With Back in the Dayz – Airborne Anthology the past of Airborne is explored and celebrated with the still to be forged future greatly anticipated. The group’s extended harmonious shared recording experience has bred this lofty level of congruous cohesion. If their glorious precedent is any indication; then grand inspirational thought-provoking musical vistas filled with hope lie ahead for us all. Good music is timeless.”

Randall Parrish - Jazz Review

Back In The Dayz - Airborne Anthology is an amazing collection of America's super group, Airborne. Contemporary jazz isn't dead.”

Smooth & Soul – HBH

“You’d expect a contemporary jazz group that is called “musical peacemakers” to have a happy, upbeat sound. You get that with this veteran band, but as this anthology shows, you also get top-quality musicianship with heft and plenty of sway”

Brian Soergel

“Everything about the bright, brassy music of Airborne with its strong melody and ripples of percussion suggests that their outlook is a very positive, optimistic one and they aim to be as inclusive as possible. The songs on this anthology reflect that: many tastes will find things to like, whether it’s soul, Latin, reggae or some quite complex jazz”.

Chris Mann

“One has to admire Airborne, a veteran jazz band that has made inroads into the hearts of jazz fans across the world over the years. They are a supercharged carnival of musicians that add a much needed dose of global adventure to jazz.”

Jonathan Widran - All Music Guide

“Airborne's musical recipe takes a can of straight ahead jazz with Caribbean and Latino influences. Pour in a few tablespoons of jazz fusion and a heaping cup of urban street funk. Then cook all ingredients with pure technical talent till it gets boiling hot.”

Mixx Magazine

"Airborne is a band with a mission, setting the objective on using their musical energies for calming an otherwise disruptive world. What the world needs is more people who do what they love to do with purpose and confidence and because they love doing it. Genuine big-hearted jazz"

Sandy Shore - Smoothjazz.com

“As much new age, R&B, funk, spiritual, and world as they are contemporary jazz, Airborne is a carefully woven fabric of tantalizing sound that makes those crazy moments in our day a little less crazy.

An unbeatable combination”

Ron Jackson - The Smooth Jazz Ride

“The band’s reputation is built on returning soulful energy, inserting vocal
R & B arrangements and firing up Latin grooves to contemporary jazz by re-igniting genuine old school jazz fusion in a way that is part 5th Dimension, part Weather Report, and part Ambrosia with just a hint of Tower of Power thrown in for good measure”
