BOB MOVER:
SELECTED PRESS REVIEWS

Neither an avant-gardist nor exactly a mainstreamer, Mover is one of the most accomplished and thoroughly engaging saxophonists around.
Eric Levin - People Magazine

One of the most accomplished alto saxophonists to arrive in the 70´s (ahead of the current curve of revivalists). Mover is still going strong: he is a fleet and soulful improvizer with a Bird-through-Konitz pedigree...
Gary Giddins in Village Voice Choices, (Feb. 2000)

Taking Charlie Parker, Lee Konitz, and Sonny Rollins as exemplars early on, Mover is the sum of his parts with a mind and a heart of his own.
Leonard Feather and Ira Gitler –
The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz

His music rings with a profundity that speaks to both heart and mind...Mover´s voice is his own, worth listening to...carefully.
Chuck Berg - Downbeat Magazine

\`Saxophonist Bob Mover is one of that rare breed, a man unafraid of taking musical chances.`
Len Dobbin, The Montreal Gazette

Jazz á 200%
Francois LaCharme - Jazz Hot Magazine

Mover, in an extremely stylized way, has personalized the bebop tradition into something uniquely his own.
Mark Miller - Toronto Globe & Mail

This is the kind of high-spirited performance that represents the ultimate Jazz expression.
John S. Wilson - New York Times

The day that Dexter Gordon died, Bob Mover was doing a live jazz recording when a blackout occurred. Bob was supposed to finish playing at 7:30 pm but he continued all night with no power or lights and dedicated the night to Dexter. We were packed with people, sweating from the heat, but no one left until 1:00 am. The music was brilliant!

A very sensitive artist and a true jazz icon
Bob Comden LA Jazz Press


Like Charlie Parker, Bob Mover knows how to make musical escapes and come out all sexy and beautifull.
