The David Berkman Quartet
"The arrival of New York pianist David Berkman with a batch of original compositions was like a shaft of sunlight...Berkman's Quartet is a loose-limbed machine, with supple interaction forged over (four) acclaimed U.S. albums...Reveling in a space somewhere between post-bop free jazz and classic melodic structures, the quartet swung and glided effortlessly...Berkman is reclaiming ground lost to jazz posterity: he has an Ellingtonian sense of grace combined with driving rhythms and abstract surprises...A subtle, yet sassy performance from a commanding new talent."
Bob Flynn from a review in the Guardian of the Quartet at the 2002 Jazz Festival
