What the press is saying...
“Perennial”(Rob Garcia 4) was named one of "The 10 Best Jazz Albums of 2009" in the New York Observer by Devin Leonard.
“Garcia is a drummer with an expert claim to our attention.” – IndyStar
“And if there’s one thing the Rob Garcia 4 has plenty of, it’s personality. Perennial pulls no punches, takes no prisoners and thoroughly satisfies.”
- Terrell Holmes; AllAboutJazz-New York
“…when it comes to leading his own ensemble, his composing and band leading comes before his world-class drumming.”
– Pico; Something Else
"kickbutt drums courtesy of Rob Garcia" -Improvijazzation Nation
