2019 Release

"Barry Deister's music bristles with an appreciatioin for shape and substance, not only in his quite personal and memorable compositions, but also in his burly, communicative improvisations." Neil Tesser, The Chicago Tribune


"Crows, a new recording by The Barry Deister Quintet is admirable, the jazz component splendid and should be assigned a high place in any pecking order" Jack Bowers, All About Jazz


"Deister's own saxophone palying recalls mid-career Coltrane with a huskier Rollinesque tone, and his compositions employ the harmonic mystery and soulful melodicism of Wayne Shorter's best compositions." Tree Palmedo, The Jazz Society of Oregon

Live at Michelle's Pianos
