Quotes


"Sax touches those roads Joshua Redman travels on with a fresh footing. This band excels at building anticipation....exciting!"
                                    -All About Jazz

“[McCarthy’s] alto has plenty of fire without surrendering its lighter touch.”
                                    - All About Jazz

"Like [Joshua] Redman, McCarthy plays and composes with palpable sensitivity...while he can certainly bring heat"
                                    -Dan Bolles, Seven Days

"...McCarthy’s selection of Burlington musicians for his quartet is as tasteful as his sax playing."
                                    -Brent Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press
