"OUT WITH IT"

"jazz record of the year so far"

Mark Andrews, Vancouver Sun


" While the version "I Want You" here is an intense tour de force, David Ashkenazy and company jump right into action on this album with an adventurous run through of Wayne Shorter's "Children of the Night." Covering Frank Foster as well as Lennon/McCartney is further testament to an element of courage that permeates this entire effort. The inclusion of Beatles material lives up to its durability and flexibility as well as its mainstream fame, during instrumental arrangements develop their own character"

"Some music defies description. In the case of drummer David Ashkenazy's
OUT WITH IT, words can hardly do justice to the varied moods and sounds of this eight-song set".

Woodrow Wilkins, All About Jazz



"Each track displays an infectious sense of swing and drive"

Mark Corroto, All About Jazz


"A lot of dense listening packed into the bytes make this like an episode of “Seinfeld” You’ll have to keep coming back to it to catch what you missed on the last run through. Well done".

Chris Spector, Midwest Record Entertainment


"Within the first three tracks of OUT WITH IT is a sign of a thinking man's jazz combo. The song selection is incredible and the end result is a fine work of art".

Layla Macoran, NY Culture Examiner


"David Ashkenazy's new CD is a lot of fun and holds up to heavy listening. His Style of drumming is impressive. Does he have spring loaded wrists? -Yet subtle.
