Generation S Press
- Offbeat Magazine
- "Martin has successfully merged the authenticity of live jazz with the accessibility provided by modern technology." - Jay Mazza, OffBeat Magazine
- "The end result is a highly original document of a specific time and place. The four musicians cohere as an ensemble and demonstrate Martin’s fully mature compositions fleshed out by players highly attuned to each other." - Jay Mazza, OffBeat Magazine
- "Somehow Martin’s piano achieves a sound of profound wisdom as he and longtime jazz soulmates—drummer Gregory Hutchinson and bassist Reuban Rogers—engage in, well, the fun of celebrating the music." - Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat Magazine
- "Peter Martin & Generation S is a release of great appeal, and certainly benefits from the duality of being obviously recorded live: we hear the drummer counting off the start of 'Alfred T'—and although it’s a studio session, it has excellent sound." - Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat Magazine
- Cultural Attaché
- "If his teaching is as good as this recording, his students are very lucky. Joined by Sarah Hanahan on saxophone; Gregory Hutchison on drums and Reuben Rogers on bass, Martin has released a forward-thinking album that is refreshing in its freedom and its creativity. Just listen to Groove Echo Chamber and you’ll have a smile on your face. Abstract Courage will put you in a relaxed mood and Alfred T will have you thinking about your late-night plans.”
