Press Quotes


"Zitro has plenty of intense, fiery moments -- especially during the latter part of "Freeken" -- and the performances emphasize density." – Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

"...an approach to percussion that's almost melodic at times, and which prefaces some of the more famous experiments in those modes to come both from the Chicago AACM and the New York loft jazz scene of the 70s. Zitro's really got a way around the kit, leaping around with a style that reminds us of Andrew Cyrille at his best." - Dusty Groove America
