cd baby

hey gang. cd baby is featuring kicks are for kids on their front page! even though the cd has been out a few years, they only recently received it and really dig it. check out what cd baby had to say about kicks:

FROM CD BABY:
I love your "Kicks Are For Kids" CD so much I'm going to feature it on
the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days.

We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page. We get about 100 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 100,000 total), and yours is one of the best I've ever heard.

OUR REVIEW (feel free to quote it anywhere!) Kicking around cheeky rhythmic conversation and contemporary classical dissonances, this sassy modern jazz combo exudes a wonderfully bossy and rebellious nature, often with rock and urban hip hop-like drums and disgruntled melodies that give way to stunningly languid ballads and downtempo numbers, pouring over with sensuality and abandonment. Stellar tenor saxophonist, Elias Haslanger, leads the way through this ten-track Kicks Are For Kids, gently pushing the songs along; and whether with a tender poke or a sharp pinch, every note seems to spill and melt out of the bell of his horn dripping onto the floor or evaporating into the air, depending on the heat of the given track. But while his playing certainly catches the ear, there's not the slightest question that this group as a whole plays as one solid entity, one voice, one daring, potent combo.
