Rave Review for Hobgood's t e s s e t e r r a !!!

Sandy Brown Jazz writes, “With tesseterra, Laurence Hobgood has managed that rather rare beast, a successful integration of classical and jazz styles of music. But there is something more important: in an introductory video to the album, Hobgood quotes Duke Ellington saying that there are only two categories of music, good and bad. In the end, these are the only two categories that matter; and tesseterra is undoubtedly good music.”
