    JAZZHOLE PRESS
    Straight No Chaser
    Review of 'Circle of the Sun'
    Spring 2003 issue

    Since 1988, Straight No Chaser has served as the definitive guide to the
    nu-music underground. Here's their review of Circle of the Sun from the
    upcoming Spring 2003 issue:

    "How come nobody's picked up on Jazzhole? This band has been around for some
    time, and like Fertile Ground, this New York-based ensemble have a developed
    their own take on modern sweet soul music. There are echoes of Anita Baker in
    her prime, the programming is kept to a minimum and the field is left open for
    quality musicianship and emotive songwriting. Comprising Rhodes, drums, bass,
    guitar, tablas(!) and an array of gifted vocalists, you might like to think of
    Jazzhole as a cross between Erykah Badu and the Philadelphia Experiment. From
    the opening track "Three Days" you sense the majesty and sophistication at
    work, and as the album progresses, weaving in African vocal tracks which sit
    comfortably alongside expansive instrumental segues, you know something
    special is afoot. Albums like this are few and far between, and if you happen
    to be in NYC, it would be worth seeking this outfit, because you can be sure
    they cut it live like they do in the studio. www.jazzhole.com, need I say
    more?" (review by Jez Smadja)

    Jazzhole is now available at America's best online record store. Here's what
    Dusty Groove had to say about Circle of the Sun:

    "Smooth, soulful, and very slinky -- the fourth album from Jazzhole, and their
    best to date! The hip New York group have really honed their sound nicely --
    focusing on their rich talents as a collective, and showcasing the work of a
    variety of great lead vocalists. Despite the size of the group, the sound's
    remarkably unified, and the album comes off like a solo set by an individual,
    so strong is the collective vision of the work. Loads of great numbers -- with
    keyboards dancing over gentle beats, and sweetly soulful lyrics providing the
    finish"
