Album Review by Joseph Timmons: Xombiewoof Magazine

Jazz is a truly mysterious blend of limitless chords, of harmonics and un-syncopated rhythms. Jazz is the music that frees the soul and moves with an energizing spark that lights up the night. Since its inception Jazz is a course of music that is an entity unto itself and is never the same song twice. I have known Jazz Musicians that can play in a studio then play the same song live and it sounds completely different. The great jazz artists of our times are legendary musicians shrouded in shadowy clubs and guarded secrets of the ins and outs of the musical trade. No matter what style of music one may claim to adore, the same person will also like Jazz, it is in every heart and soul or every music lover, from its gentle single note riffs to the massive leg twitching, dance motivating ensembles, Jazz is everywhere and in everything.

The Rich Severson Jazz Quartet’s album Jumpin’ Java: A Smooth Bebop Blend is a collection of triumphs in Jazz, from its slow moving suites to its rip roaring grooves, it is a great album by a group of musicians that, until now, may not have been recognized or respected for their talents.

From the first track “Jumpin’ Java” to the last track “My Bird” this is a great, self-produced disc of what should, and still could be world renown pieces of great music . All the songs are original compositions by Rich Severson, whom is also a founding educator of Guitar College ( http://www.guitarcollege.com ) a website developed to teach any and every guitar enthusiast from beginner to experienced player the note and chord progressions, composition and “fingering” skills needed to perfect a truly unique and strong guitar playing style.
