DR5: The Daniel Rosenboom Quintet
- Daniel Rosenboom – trumpets
- Gavin Templeton – saxophones
- Alexander Noice – electric guitar
- Kai Kurosawa – beartrax
- Dan Schnelle – drums
“Complex and exciting, Fire Keeper burns, lurches, and leaps with intelligent virtuosity and a breathtaking sense of ensemble cohesion. This might be where jazz is heading—so strap in and enjoy the ride.”
— All About Jazz“A wholly modern and frequently intimidating assault brimming with ferocity… This is not background music. It’s a panoramic assault soaked in aggression and fuzz, flinging jagged machismo in every direction.”
— DownBeat Magazine“In his quintet, [Rosenboom] has fashioned something entirely new from wildly diverse precedents like the music of Ornette Coleman, Balkan-folk, heavy-metal, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra… At times the band reminded me of Ornette’s Prime Time playing at a Bulgarian rave. The liberal dosage of odd-meters and compound meters also evoked the spirit of Mahavishnu, but there was also a splash of (I swear to god) Black Sabbath tossed in for good measure… Rosenboom has a warm, gorgeous tone…imagine Freddie Hubbard gigging with Henry Threadgill in a Slavic mashup group, and you get the idea.”
— NBC San Diego
