Asp Nimbus featured in NY Times + WBGO Take Five

Some very nice words from two of the finest music journalists around about Christopher Hoffman - Asp Nimbus! Big thanks to Nate Chinen and Giovanni Russonello for featuring Discretionary in WBGO Take Five and New York Times The Playlist! We very much appreciate the support, and can’t thank you enough for helping to share the word. And extra cool to see this TJ Huff (huffart.com) image featured in The Times!!

“The cellist Christopher Hoffman’s unruly, unorthodox quartet — featuring the vibraphonist Bryan Carrott, the bassist Rashaan Carter and the drummer Craig Weinrib — moves around with its limbs loose, but its body held together.” —Giovanni Russonello, NY Times (full article)

“Hoffman's reference points include Bobby Hutcherson's Oblique as well as Threadgill's Everybody's Mouth's a Book (which featured Carrott). This is a strong statement in that tradition, and a long stride forward in Hoffman's solo career.” —Nate Chinen, Take Five (full article)
