Reviews for 

'Live at the Churchill School'

​

[T]his CD, offer[s] a diverse array of originals, beautifully interpreted by a band [Rob] recruited during a return visit to his native Oregon...When Scheps switches to flute, his bright lyricism is even more prominent...A followup recording is strongly merited.

​

"Scheps has his own sound. He uses his soprano saxophone much like a trumpet one minute and a clarinet the next, issuing clarion calls that sail above the ensemble and playing emotion-packed arpeggios that hint of the Old World. And his flute playing on “Valentine” sings like a bird."

CHRONOGRAM

​

"[R]eminiscent of golden age John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter recordings.  [T]he album effectively features Scheps, who solos (often on soprano) brightly and virtuosicly over an array of sound palettes.  It sounds authentic and original, as if this is where one of the lines from Coltrane leads to today."

"Rob Scheps is in a constant state of inspired passionate music. This latest document of his Quartet, "Live At The Churchill School", is full of new compositions with focus and a beautiful feeling. I was completely captured. BRAVO."

​

JOE LOVANO

​

"The energy of live jazz has been missed over the last year, which makes an accomplished live record such as this all the more satisfying."

"Strongly evokes the music of Wayne Shorter. . . stays cooking. Satisfying."

​

JAZZSCENE - Portland, OR

  

"Scheps has written a whole book of new tunes, eight of which appear on the Churchill album" . . . "an experience both exhilarating and humbling."

​

"Rob Scheps deserves wider recognition. Since he arrived in New York City in the 1980s, he has been an important contributor to many bands, in addition to leading his own groups. He is also a nimble soprano saxophonist and flautist..."

"[Scheps' performance with the Green Street Trio] had a sweet and mellow breakdown that allowed the upright bass and soprano sax to have their say."
