SOME QUOTES BY INTERNATIONAL MUSICIANS AND CRITICS:

"Chuck Zeuren has assembled and ensemble of musicians who compliment each other throughout this recording of his original compositions and arrangements."

"This is some highly spirited music played with a beautiful joyous feeling."

"Not Why??..but..WHY NOT??"

JOE LOVANO, Grammy Award Winner and Blue Note Recording Artist

“Chuck Zeuren is a drummer's drummer and a musician's musician. Beyond his energy and sheer musical brilliance is a man unstruck by the business of music, he forges ahead and does what it takes.

His CD entitled "Zeuren" (Monad Records) stands in the history books as one of the best led dates by any drummer. It is an exceptional release by an exceptional musician, Chuck Zeuren! ”

Tim Price, "Jazz Player Magazine"

“Only once-in-a-while, does a swinging drummer like Chuck Zeuren come along. He was the main force behind my band for 2 years. He swung the heck out of my band every night.”

Lionel Hampton

“Chuck Zeuren is a great drummer.”

Eric Turkel, "Keyboard Magazine"

“Zeuren’s playing represents idiomatic percussive refinement. Zeuren is a tasteful and musically appealing drummer very much in the tradition of the late Boston-based drummer Alan Dawson. Zeuren’s ears are wide open at moments when they are needed for detailed contrapuntal interplay with the soloist.”

Tim Price, "The Saxophone Journal"

“Chuck Zeuren makes the kind of great jazz that today’s music audiences love.”

Paul Matthews, "Cadence Magazine"

“Chuck Zeuren is one of those leaders who doesn’t try to impose his views on the other musicians. He seems to see himself as a link between the other individuals in the group, and clearly is a great listener.”

Le Jazz, July 1997 “Star CD of the Month”
