REVIEW: Hobgood's t e s s e t e r r a Scores a Scorcher!
USA’s Jazz Times writes, “In his liner notes, Hobgood says he considers Tesseterra a jazz album rather than a jazz/classical hybrid. But that’s underselling the achievement. It’s a soul-soothing blend of jazz, classical, and pop that doesn’t have a name other than ‘music’.”

Sandy Brown Jazz writes, “With tesseterra, Laurence Hobgood has managed that rather rare beast, a successful integration of classical and jazz styles of music.

In the end, these are the only two categories that matter; and tesseterra is undoubtedly good music.”
