Ari Hoenig

"He's got Rhythm of every variety" " trickles of rhythm seeping into all the cracks and at regular intervals he changes the rhythm, pouring it out or stoppering it, turning its emphasis around, subdividing or refocusing it and making it follow the melody."
--Ben Ratliff New York Times

"Ari Hoenig is one of the most maniacally obsessive, spasmodic and musical drummers in jazz."
---JAZZ TIMES

“Rhythm is a contact sport for Ari Hoenig”
“expansive technique, propulsive time and deep musicality" "his style is characterized by a crisp attack and quick attentive reflexes.
---Nate Chinen, NEW YORK TIMES

"Ari Hoenig is a Magician!"
---BATTEUR MAGAZINE

"Ari Hoenig, a disconcerting phenomenon of the drums"
---JAZZMAN MAGAZINE"
