Other reviews:

“This CD (Music for Dances) celebrates acoustic jazz in the finest traditions of straight-ahead playing......What a breath of fresh air Bayer brings to the idiom......This CD of Bayer’s own compositions is a pleasure to listen to and enjoy.”

The Gazette Newspapers

“Bayer’s excellent debut, Music for Dances (is) as smooth as zambonied ice....Music for Dances is wonderfully recorded.”

The Washington City Paper

“These guys are good!  (The Joshua Bayer Jazz Group) blend their considerable talents to bring you the best in straight-ahead jazz.  They cover the sounds of early swing, make a pass through be-bop and slide on into the jazz sounds of the present.”

Borders Books and Music

“Bayer and the rest of his trio....slide through Bayer’s compositions with so much cool you just know they never once took off their sunglasses!”

Journal Newspapers

“I like the way (The Joshua Bayer Trio) interacts with each other.  We’re lucky to have them in the area.   (They’re) doing great work.”
