Praise

“It’s not every day that a young badass on their instrument makes an album as unpretentious, genuine, melody-driven, and fun to listen to…one can hear California in the album a mile away.”

– Taylor Eigsti

“In a jazz sea positively overflowing with darting and sprinting and flat-out-ferocious young tenor saxophonists, Ben Flocks is one to catch. Ben’s approach is patient, passionate, forthright, kind. He doesn’t dazzle with flurries of notes or overwhelm with a tsunami of technique. But he may yet make some of the widest and longest lasting waves. More importantly, he’s diving deep. Ben’s sound seeks the heart of the matter, the soul of things.”

– Joshua Redman

“Ben Flocks is one of the most talented musicians I’ve met. His organic approach to improvising and creative spirit is truly inspiring. Ben plays with a soulfulness and maturity that’s beyond his years and I’m excited to see him continue to develop his voice.”
– Donny McCaslin
