The Real Thing

At the Chicago Jazz Fest

"...a subtle and personal tenor saxophonist..." Nat Hentoff

"Brumbach's brawny tone is reminiscent of such Chicago 'tough tenor' titans such as Gene Ammons and Johnny Griffin; his lines dig deeply into the heart of the songs' chord structures...." David Whiteis

"...John Brumbach's tenor sax adds brilliantly to a track bursting with respect. Brumbach's horn joins Erwin for other wonderful moments during Jelly Roll Morton's Sweet Substitute and Jimmie Cox's lowdown Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out, but the pair work sheer magic for The Sheik Of Araby..." Craig Ruskey

"...(Expression of Tenderness) is a nicely rendered entreaty to love in an unsympathetic urban surrounding, complimented by the just the right character of John Brumbach on tenor sax..." Robert Jarovi

"...John Brumbach's tenor sax and Rob Mazurek's cornet coupled with Jack McDuff's ultra-mellow organ make for my favorite tracks on this disk..." Carey Reisz
