Selected press about OmniTone
- Label profile —All
About Jazz: New York (April 2004)
"OmniTone has established a foothold in the niche market
of creative music.... The number of artists debuting
as leaders for OmniTone is significant and surprising....
Even with the more established artists who have recorded for
OmniTone, Tafuri likes to find something unique or to choose
projects that haven’t been over-recorded."
—All About Jazz: New York [Read article]
- Best CD
covers —OmniTone; Between the Lines;
ECM, hatHut; Winter & Winter
"Yes, all of these labels follow tight formats, but we are
big fans of Mondrian and minimalism. OmniTone
wins out, though not for the crisp,
clean design and solid photography, but for the quality
artist interviews that start in the booklet and continue,
unabridged form, at www.omnitone.com."
—JazzTimes (January 2001)
- "Leave it to the folks at OmniTone
to find thrillingly original talent or to
bring together inspired collaborations between
veterans..."
—Andrew Bartlett, Amazon.com
- "Cheers
must go out to Frank Tafuri and the other folks at
OmniTone for having the vision and courage
to release this music. There are not
many American labels willing to take the chance on
advanced music... Their motto of having
a 'ceaseless commitment to adventurous and listenable
jazz' is well-represented..."
—John Ewing, Earshot Jazz
- "Jazz
fans have a reason to celebrate with the advent
of the new OmniTone jazz label"
—Glenn Astarita, AllAboutJazz.com (November 1999)
- "Founded last year in New
York by producer Frank Tafuri, OmniTone's short list
of records indicates a willingness
to allow artists great creative freedom... Tafuri
was formerly the American publicist for the Italian
Black Saint and Soul Note labels, arguably the most
progressive jazz labels of the last quarter century. Tafuri
brings much of this Italian spirit to his new American
label. His goal seems to be to
provide musicians with an open platform for experimentation
and creativity, the crucial elements in jazz and
the mantra of the AACM."
—Gene Hyde, Memphis Flyer (3 April 2000)
- "The sessions
are pristinely recorded and at once comfortable for
a wide swath of jazzersand challenging to
anyone who thinks they know the music's boundaries." —Amazon Delivers (29-Oct-99)
- March 2000. Excellent,
informative "LabelWatch" in JazzTimes magazine
by Bill Milkowski. [Read more...]
