PRESS QUOTES:

“…one of New York’s great jazz drummers and composers.” - Capital New York
“Thoughtful original music delivered with rare conviction.” - Jazz Times
“Garcia is a drummer of invention, grace and considerable fire.” - Downbeat
“…an elastic, adventurous statement from the drummer Rob Garcia." - New York Times

“remarkable drummer” - Village Voice

“A prime mover in the current Brooklyn jazz scene…” - Time Out-New York

“remarkable chemistry” - Jazz Times

"like all great frontmen he puts the music first, not his instrument. And like fellow drummer/leaders Bill Stewart and Jack DeJohnette, Garcia always serves the music, but with that extra inner sparkle and finesse coupled to crackerjack time sensibilities that are constantly delightful." - NYC Jazz Record
