"Rova is not only the hardest-working saxophone quartet in the
blow-business, they are also the finest!"--Downbeat Magazine
"Their tightly structured improvs do to jazz what Ives did to hymn tunes
it's like Thelonious Monk crossed with Bartok. Recipe for an incredible
evening!"--Village Voice
Rova Saxophone Quartet, the acclaimed all-saxophone ensemble, has
fundamentally extended the horizons of music since forming in 1977.
Positioning themselves at music's most dynamic nexus, Rova has become an
important leader in the movement of genre-bending music that has its roots
in post-bop free jazz, avant-rock, and 20th century new music as well as
traditional and popular styles of Africa, Asia, Europe and the United
States. With its potent mix of stellar musicianship and compositional
creativity, Rova explores the synthesis of composition and collective
improvisation. The result is adventurous works that are ardent and
riveting, exhilarating and free-spirited. While much of Rova's music is
composed by its members, the group has also collaborated with and
commissioned new works by a wide range of creative artists. Since its
founding, Rova has released over two dozen recordings of original music.
In noting Rova's role in innovatively developing the all-saxophone ensemble
as "a regular and conceptually wide-ranging unit," The Penguin Guide to
Jazz calls its music "a teeming cosmos of saxophone sounds" created by
"deliberately eschewing conventional notions about swing [and] prodding at
the boundaries of sound and space..." Likewise Jazz: The Rough Guide notes,
"Highly inventive, eclectic and willing to experiment, Rova [is] arguably
the most exciting of the saxophone quartets to emerge in the format's late
'70s boom."
