Reviews

  • George W. Harris reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - Pianist Ted Kooshian reminds you of one of the overlooked joys of jazz; the ability to have some fun. Remember Louis Jordan? He made jazz a joy – that’s the attitude that Kooshian delivers with his team of Jeff Lederer, flute, tenor and soprano sax; Pete McGuinness, trombone; Wilbur Bascomb electric bass; David Silliman, drums … Continue reading George W. Harris reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING →
  • Woodrow Wilkins reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - Ted Kooshian doesn’t clown around. Or does he? The pianist, known for his imaginative adaptations lets loose with the big noses, funny hair and wide shoes with Clowns Will Be Arriving (Summit Records, 2015), an exciting collection of five original songs and remakes of television show themes composed by Hugo Montenegro, Lalo Schifrin, Johnny Williams and more. … Continue reading Woodrow Wilkins reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING →
  • Owen Cordle reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - Pianist Ted Kooshian has found largely untapped resources for jazz.

  • Ernest Barteldes reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - It really puts a smile on my face when a musician has the ability of not taking himself too seriously while still having the ability to create a wonderful work of art. There are many examples in history – one that comes to mind is how The Beatles were able to call themselves the ones … Continue reading Ernest Barteldes reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING →
  • Rad Bennett reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - Musical Performance **** Sound Quality **** Overall Enjoyment **** I have to admit that it was the cover of this CD that called to me, seeming to say, “play me first.” I expected some sort of circus music, and it was there, but not until the clowns had already arrived on tracks 2, 3, and … Continue reading Rad Bennett reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING →
  • Chris Spector reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING - C’mon, who doesn’t like a jazzy set of TV themes with some edge? Kooshian revisits his youth and adds some themes of his own that should have been, like tipping the cap to Koko, Ignatz and Krazy Kat. The shows might have been humorous, but the playing is no joke and this is a great … Continue reading Chris Spector reviews CLOWNS WILL BE ARRIVING →
