“Every now and again, an act emerges from the cosmos and shakes up the planet. One of those groundbreaking bands is Alex Bird and the Jazz Mavericks. Bird and his group of talented players are rewriting the textbook for vocal-infused Jazz.” - Metronome Magazine (USA)
“In this world, of ordinary singers, extra-ordinary singers, I’m glad there is Bird. ”
“Very much a modern take on the traditions of the Great American Songbook, Bird resonates with a quality parallel to Tony Bennett or Harry Connick Jr., & is easily solidified as a highly skilled artist with both intimate & adventurous song craft that sounds as great today as it will 30 years from now.”
