Revive Music presents supreme sonacy, vol. 1

"It's the sort of album that features a different crew on just about every track, with a qualification: The tracks come interspersed with remixes by the hip-hop producer Raydar Ellis ... The idea of a strain of modern jazz that's conversant with hip-hop - as a matter of course, rather than calculation - holds sway over much of this music ... Where "Supreme Sonacy" falters is mainly in its rhetoric: You'll want to bring a grain of salt as you peruse the album notes, or the accompanying coverage on Revive Music's blog. There's also a nagging tension between the mandates of a studio album and the energies of live performance, which has always been Revive Music's strength".

"Founded by Meghan Stabile, Revive Music is a vision of mixing a wide ranging of modern and classic sounds palatable to both jazz and urban R&B ears ... Through most of the pieces, there is a bit of hip hop drumming, but with a hint of bop that will satisfy modern and trad ears. You can sense the importance of the music here; it's something not glibly concocted and deserves a few listens".
