"Bryan McConnell is a bassist with ageless mastery
of his instrument. He offers beautiful melodic lines
and the supporting anchor to the trio."
-Stella Cheung Brandt, Associate Publisher/Editor,
California Jazz Now Magazine
"Bassist Bryan McConnell is noted for his sensitive,
imaginative, hornlike solos and is always a wise and
logical choice in accompaniment!"
-Johnny Adams, Program/Music Director, KRML Jazz Radio,
Carmel, CA
"Bryan McConnell, bassist, takes on the Herculean
takes of ryhthmic pulse, providing hamronic support
and major soloist. He excels at all three duties,
and most imporantly, never seems to stuggle with the
responsiblity or call attention to its difficulty or
overcompensate. Don't' try that at home folks, this
guy is a trained professional. He plays with a sure-
footed strength and maturity that belie his relative
youth. Bryan's woody tone, deep and rich, support the
vocals in contrapuntal fashion, like delicate beadwork,
woven seamlessly."
-Bruce Forman, guitarist, Monterey, CA
