about

"Tangled" is the Endemic Ensemble's second full-length studio album, recorded and released in 2016. It is fifty-eight minutes long featuring nine songs of original mainstream jazz.

"Tangled, is packed to the brim with luminous melodies, splendid charts and engaging solos by all hands." (Jack Bowers, All About Jazz)

"...here is a wonderful recording full of creative compositions and musicians who work together like a well-oiled machine." (Dee Dee McNeil, Musicalmemoirs's Blog)

"What this band best represents (for this listener, anyway) is the POWER that jazz can project, in all it's forms" (Dick Metcalf, Improvijazzation Nation)

"...their original hard bop is groovy and contagious" (Dave Rogers, WTJU)

"What recommends Endemic Ensemble's latest version is its non-stop musical hype through a bursting array of sonic colors and styles — pleasant and exciting enough to capture the hearts of both the jazz and non-jazz fans." (Carol Banks Weber, AXS)
