On Two Tenor Ballads:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026the voice of confidence\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

John Uhl, DownBeat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Aztec Blues:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is indeed a contest, Shull would walk away with the prize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Morgan, Cadence<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Deep Passion:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis arpeggios will rough you up one moment, heal your wounds the next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owen Cordle, Downbeat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c…unlike most young tenorists today, his style cannot be pigeonholed as a follower<\/p>\n

of a particular musician.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shirley Klett, Cadence<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHis chief attributes include that ability to swing at a relaxed tempo… a superbly<\/p>\n

resonant tone… ability to build tension… and some nice burred edges on the slow<\/p>\n

ones… a fine, and in some places, soul-stirring performance.”<\/p>\n

David Badham, Jazz Journal<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c…a relentlessly swinging style…\u201d<\/p>\n

Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On In the Land of the Tenor:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA first-rate saxophonist who distinguishes himself throughout In the Land of the<\/p>\n

Tenor with taste and a burly, blues-drenched tone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Futterman, Rolling Stone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026from Sonny Rollins…add a mixture of fashionable and unfashionable influences<\/p>\n

like Sonny Stitt, Lucky Thompson, and Ben Webster and you get a brawny style that<\/p>\n

shoulders its way through an interesting programme…\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Sheridan, The Manchester Guardian Jazz Magazine<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Live Reviews:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

” Tad Shull, an ebullient tenor saxophonist, generates excitement whenever he comes<\/p>\n

billowing up from his seat to solo.”<\/p>\n

John S. Wilson, The New York Times<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c…A fat tenor tone, an intense vibrato and an unabashedly caressing, legato approach to<\/p>\n

phrasing proved that he had mastered the vintage idioms he so admires \u2026 Shull’s solos<\/p>\n

proved unpredictable,with unexpected pauses, unusual phrase lengths, and a restless<\/p>\n

rhythmic vocabulary.\u201d<\/p>\n
