5.0 out of 5 stars New tunes, classic sound, December 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bonifas Quartet (Audio CD)

This CD will not dissapoint any fan of a traditional jazz sound looking for fresh melodies. Bonifas writes in a varied yet traditional style that gives the listener a sense of discovering timeless classics. The playing on the CD is superb on all fronts. With a quartet of drums, bass, piano and guitar, every player brings out the best in their abilities without stepping over the boundries of what each song calls for.
A truly exceptional debut.

I am a student of the jazz guitar and I had the pleasure of seeing the Bonifas Quartet at Summerfest in Milwaukee this year and i greatly enjoyed the show. After the show Bill tossed some live cds into the crownd and I was lucky enough to grab one. I enjoyed this album greatly and all four all very talented musicians. A great blend of styles and if possible i would recommend seeing a live show.

The Bonifas Quartet album debut is a nice mixture of retro and contemporary jazz, jazz, funk-jazz, jazz ballads, and bossas' are represented here tastefully and honestly. Bill Bonifas' guitar style brings to mind jazz guitarists of both yesterday and today;from Grant Green and Wes Montgomery to Pat Matheny and John Scofield. The guitar is dominant on the album yet Bill is generous with his sidemen. Everyone gets a chance to shine and the interplay is evident throughout the album. From Bill's early works to now he has shown a natural growth and maturity. This is his finest work to date. I think hs has found a home!
