“Since 2005 Winter Jazzfest has been a cheaply priced cramming rite for New Yorkers interested in new improvised music: cruise the festival’s multiple stages for a night or two and you’re somewhere near up-to-date.”
– BEN RATLIFF, THE NY TIMES
“I kind of look at it as what CMJ would ideally be, but if jazz were equivalent of that..” – HANK SHTEAMER on SOUNDCHECK
“Catch even a small percentage of the seventy or so performers taking the stage during this invaluable festival and you can come away understanding just how fertile the contemporary jazz scene really is.”
-John Donohue, THE NEW YORKER
“No other festival experience in town feels quite as homey and discovery-charged as WJF, during which showgoers stroll freely between multiple close-range venues, marveling, mingling and comparing notes..”
– Matthew Kassell, VILLAGE VOICE
