And the Media says…………..

“Adegoke’s compositions and Iqua’s beautiful vocal work make this group outstanding.”

– Downbeat Magazine 

 “At times the veteran Colson nearly steals the show – not with flash but with depth and imagination.”

Steve Holtje – CDNOW

“The festival ended with a celebrated concert given by the Colsons.”

Kleine Zeitung Graz – Austria 

“Indisputably the Colsons constituted the revelation of the festival…The concert was eagerly anticipated and we were not deceived…Steve Colson is an interesting pianist (using many chords)…it is Iqua who captivates us with her formidable presence. In unison with the sax or improvising on lyrics or scatting, always her voice wins us over…”

Alex Dutilh – Jazz Hot Magazine – France

“Colson was fluid at the piano with Iqua vocalizing efficiently with fascinating phrasing.” – Coda Magazine – Canada

Iqua appeared on stage…my immediate reaction was “where has she been hiding?” in a world of vapid vocalists with empty promises and no substance. Iqua was tres magnifique! Her articulation and knowledge of her craft was exceptional and her delivery simply divine.”

– Jazz Improv Magazine

“Colson has forged a cool and collected style for himself, with a warm touch, liquid phrasing, and the witty suggestion of Monkian harmonies….”
