 The New York-based saxophonist Craig Yaremko, along with organist Matt King, drummer Jonathon Peretz, and special guest guitarist Vic Juris, push the limits of the tradition while displaying a powerful group chemistry. The band swings hard on originals by both Yaremko and King, and puts fresh spins on jazz classics by Monk, Strayhorn, Hubbard and Waller. CYO3 is Yaremko’s debut on OA2 Records and his forth as a leader, following his recording “Sync,” which was a Top Ten pick from New York’s Hot House Magazine for release.
“‘Sync’ reveals an artist who…already has a powerful musical personality. Yaremko’s originals, which touch on the jazz tradition while also looking forward, are rife with musical adventures. Likewise, his covers of such songs as Lennon-McCartney’s “Michelle” offer fresh, open-minded approaches…”-Zan Stewart, Newark Star-Ledger
“It is hard to imagine how many ultra-talented musicians lie in the weeds, with no big-budget record contract or nationwide touring schedule that allows them to reach the masses. Discovering one is like finding a pearl in your oyster — and the pearl on Sync is the multiple reed-playing Craig Yaremko…Craig Yaremko is a jack of many instruments, and here he is the master of all — and a darn good writer and arranger to boot.”
-John Cizik, Jazz Improv NY (now Jazz Inside)
