“'Music is Emotion' is the worthy new album by Ryan Keberle, a young trombonist of
vision and composure.”

“Trombonist and composer Ryan Keberle’s album Music Is Emotion (Alternate Side Records) introduces his piano-less quartet
Catharsis and a sound so full of imaginative interplay and boundless energy that the band seems much larger”
Thomas Staudter - READ MORE...
“In forming Catharsis, a piano-less quartet with two horns, bass and drums, Keberle left his self-admitted comfort zone, but it did him
some good; this already-stellar artist reaches a new artistic peak with Music Is Emotion.”
Dan Bilawsky - READ MORE...
“...his pieces, as well as arrangements of other’s works, are richly episodic, so the quartet conveys the impression of a much larger
ensemble. Ttracks from the pens of pop/rock singers Nedelle Torrisi and Sufjan Stevens are turned into mini-suites in Keberle’s
hands and he has arranged a meditative, moving version of John Lennon’s “Julia.” It all adds up to a remarkably inclusive and
surprisingly diverse and expansive album by what is for the most part a minimal quartet.”
