Dan Bilawski, AAJ
"Fahie finds a way to chart his own course while channeling jazz language and classical substance with an unusually balanced and focused outlook."
Ted Parkinson, Whole Note
"an intelligent and sophisticated collection of jazz works which we can admire on their own, or from the context of their classical origins."
Nate Chinen, NPR/WBGO
"Plainsong... is both breezily casual and serious business"
Giovanni Russonello, NYT
"The tunes are harmonically snaked and rhythmically relentless; they highlight the horn players' teasing interplay, and keep the stellar rhythm section... on the move."
Richard B. Kamins, Step Tempest
"...impressive original compositions and intelligent arrangements...
it's such a treat to hear his music...This is the sort of program that just gets better with each listen."
Chris Spector, Midwest Record
"A delightfully hard to pin down eclectic album...Highly creative throughout, the sure footed playing is sure to make a positive impression no matter what your jazz stripe. Check it out."
