GOLDA SOLOMON words

"Even after five years of Bush and his cronies' systematic dismantling of our governmental system, there's been little overt protest music within the field of creative jazz. Along comes saxophonist Mark Whitecage with a healthy dose of indignation. The music runs the gamut from freebop to collective improv to straight ahead swing, and every player gets a moment to shine. When the dust has settled and these mad times are just a bad memory, 'BushWacked' will still be standing tall." - Robert Iannapollo, Signal to Noise
