Read Three Brushes, One Stroke by Sean Powers for the "Vermont Standard," July 28, 2005.

"Jeff is a bassist who digs deeply into the philosophical principles that define what jazz is and can be. In addition to being a very thorough student of the history of his instrument, he is an accomplished composer, teacher, and arranger."

—Marcus Roberts (jazz pianist)

"Their music is fresh, spontaneous and challenging. I hold them and their music in a very high regard."

—(John Taylor - ECM recording artist www.johntaylorjazz.com on Minsarah)

"Florian Weber...His partners, bassist Jeff Denson and drummer Ziv Ravitz, he met in the USA. Since their introduction they have formed a trio where they play so well together it would seem that they trust each other blindly."

"...if you heard the 9 tracks from their CD, which is like a journey through the land of creativity, you would witness breath-taking technique, perfect timing, and great melodic richness."

Hans-Jurgen von Osterhausen, review of "Minsarah" in the German Jazz Magazine "Jazz Podium" (December, 2003)

"...Minsarah communicated with concentration and ease while maintaining powerful intensity. The trio has energy; nobody would doubt this!" ...

"As with 'Scar Tissue', written by Denson, an ingenious catwalk of mature playfulness fed from an unconsumed view of life of the three musicians who really have something to say."

"They understand each other as do the listeners. It can be said that they made a real statement, which could be described as the miracle of Cologne. We can state: that was music; the most beautiful compliment for a concert. ... Thank you Minsarah! Only this Friday night in the hall was the world at its best."
