"As abstractly hallucinatory as it may sound on disc (or wherever), expect material from the Tulsa keyboard trio's most recent album, Lil Tae Rides Again, to unfold gloriously onstage. Expectations, though, are hardly the stock in trade of keyboardist Brian Haas, guitarist Reed Mathis, and drummer Josh Raymer's intensely improvisatory head-fuckery, which embraces Beatles covers, free jazz and just about everything in between."
- The Village Voice


"A breadth and vision nearly untouched in modern jazz except by the likes of Wayne Shorter and Bill Frisell."
- Signal to Noise


"It swings, it sways, but the jazz trio form in their hands has an almost primitive, inside-your-head, idiosyncratic quality to it that suggests the three are truly one."
- Downbeat Magazine


"Delicious postmodern jazzitude from the Tulsa-based piano trio." 4 of 5 stars.
- Mojo (UK)


""Produced by the sleepless and titular Tae Meyulks, 'Lil Tae Rides Again' bathes in electro-blackness, a blood-red island in a skewed fantasy. Gorgeous or beastly, it sticks to your shivering bones."
- Under the Radar


"Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey weave the kind of impressionistic, imaginative new jazz that shatters any kind of identity, much less categories and classifications."
- Chicago Sun Times


"The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey step through the looking glass to emerge from the shadows of their disparate rock and jazz influences with something wholly fresh. Producer Tae Meyulks transforms these sessions into a sonic wonderland."
- The Absolute Sound


"JFJO burns with a quiet intensity rather than dramatically explodes. The musicians play with a coiled looseness, improvising with quicksilver yet deliberate force. You can hear the band's power and inventiveness creatively eroding structure, and the tension produced from that is exhilarating. If JFJO isn't moving jazz forward, it is shifting its center of gravity interestingly askew."
- Jazz Times


"In my humble opinion, one of the most fascinating trios currently walking around on God's green earth."
