The Respect Sextet is a powerhouse ensemble. Relying on explosive energy, rare telepathy, outstanding musicianship and a deep friendship, Respect pieces together “a whirling collage,” shouts Exclaim! Magazine, "that ransacks and reshapes the entire jazz tradition, from New Orleans march to Misha Mengelberg, Sun Ra to Charlie Parker." Many dialectics are at work (and play) in Respect’s music, in which the serious, heady, and intellectual mingle with the light, comic, and absurd, where compositions alternate with improvisations, and where tight ensemble work coexists with loose, empathic interplay.
