“PRIMARY COLORS” TESTIMONIALS

Primary Colours sparkle with a combination of great individual talent held together with a spontaneous sense of interplay.
— Larry Coryell
Primary Colours explores contemporary jazz styles with a trio format of bass, piano, and drums showing closeness and a free flow of ideas...
— Jack Burke-Waxworks, June 17, 1999
This is without a doubt one of the finest “orthodox” (piano/bass/drums) trio albums I’ve heard this year (and probably last year as well).
— Jazz News, Mar-Apr ’99
Primary Colours is beyond question one of the more accomplished piano/drums/bass trios I’ve heard recently, and that includes the Ray Brown Trio’s wonderful session, live at Sculler’s. Individually, these relatively unsung New York-based musicians are superb; collectively, they are almost telepathic...
— Jack Bowers - Jazz Now, March 1999
All three musicians have performed and recorded with musicians like Zoot Sims, Red Rodney, Bobby Hutcherson and Tiny Grimes, so their jazz credentials cannot be ignored and this recording proves that New York must have some of the best piano trios in the United States...
— David Griffith South Wales Evening Post, April 24, 1998
They demonstrate their straightahead artistry, tight unity, and ingenuity as soloists, most noticeably on their group and individual restructurings of Gillespie’s “Con Alma”, Mongo Santamaria’s “Afro Blue”, and Dr. Billy Taylor’s “One for the Woofer...
— Nancy Ann Lee-Jazz Times, November 1999
This trio plays with ever-flowing energy and life that can motivate the musical soul of anyone…These musician’s closeness allows them to create and improvise off of each others innovative movements...
— Morrice’s Jazz Review - Jazz at a Glance, April 1998
The Wagner composition, “Madeleine,” a feast for the senses, never loses its emotional weave...
— Jerry D’Souza - Planet Jazz, Vol. 3 Spring 1999
Gerard D’Angelo’s piano style is straight-ahead & energetic expression that will make your heart sing!
— Dick Metcalf – Improvijazzation Nation - Issue #32
 
Meade is a high-velocity cyclone!
— Larry Coryell, May 1996
This trio plays with ever flowing energy and life that can motivate the musical soul of anyone.
