"I Insist was recorded after George had given his music what he calls "the gig test," playing it in front of a live audience. That preparation shows in the performance; the group is tight. Still, it seems as though George may still be in the process of finding where to put his own voice. Sometimes the music feels too subdued, or too content to settle into a '60s postbop mood. Nevertheless, this is a strong debut from a musician and composer who has a lot of potential as he moves forward".

"I Insist is the debut as a leader for Brooklyn-based tenor saxophonist, composer, and educator Kazemde George. The title is to both signify an emphatic statement and a nod to Max Roach's landmark 1960 protest album We Insist! Freedom Now Suite ... As a quick study, he intends to learn Haitian Creole and Portuguese next as he strives to elevate communities of underprivileged youth through music and cultural education. Based on this auspicious debut, he is well on his way to taking those steps".

"Kazemde George is out to capture the ethos of African diasporic music. I Insist is not only a nod to the monumental We Insist! by Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach. It is also a paean to those elements of Black creativity emergent in the depths of groove, manifest through ebb and flow of swing".
