”Platz‘s mystic axe tones gradually madden into vapor -like
labyrinths letting the subtleties unfold in sparse bubbling currents”.
SIGNAL TO NOISE MAGAZINE

" An intelligent approach to both composition
and improvisation”
JAZZREVIEW.COM

”Platz can pummel, glide, or pluck alongside his cohorts.
He’s one of the Boston territory’s exciting players”.
ONE FINAL NOTE

"Rise Above is a phat, free jazz album in the tradition of
the 60's. This five piece band always manages, in a stunning
manner, to get back from collective ecstasy to simple
structures with almost romantic melodies".
JAZZTHING GERMANY

"Platz makes a statement that at times zeros in on the
incendiary heart of the free jazz avant garde. "Rise Above"
is elegant, contemplative, and skronking!".
BOSTON PHOENIX

"This five piece seems to claim the good parts of the free
jazz movement, musicality, expressivity, and sensability".
STEREO MAGAZINE GERMANY

"Mr. Platz produces beautiful tunes. He generates creative freedom through use of harmonic and melodic ingenuity".
JAZZ REVIEW.COM

"Platz's lines skitter and hop along the fringes of tonality. He refuses to let them get pinned down in a groove".
