| Praise for ÁUREA in the press:
"Áurea unfolds and blossoms with engaging melodies, danceable rhythms filled with energy and open spaces filled with joy." - Andrea Canter, JazzINK
"Keezer has not only imbued almost every aspect of Afro-Peruvian idioms
and the rhythmic phrasing, but he has also made it his own,
emerging here with a virtually original musical avatar." - Raul da Gama, latinjazznet.com
"Outstanding... Keezer has definitely stepped up to the plate as a writer and
arranger. Fantastic writing, arranging and playing on this release and it's
fresh in it's approach and direction." - Jae Sinnet, jazzweek.com
"The genius of the Keez blends the colors of rich Peruvian passion with luster and rhythmic fertility emulating the dance of the blossoming Lily." -LeRoy Downs, KKJZ
"Inspiring Latin Jazz with an even balance of tradition and modern personality...a bond between styles, musicians, and ideals that delivers a deeply satisfying and artistically intriguing experience." - Chip Boaz, Latin Jazz Corner
"Keezer's playing, compositions and
arrangements radiate authenticity and the freshness of Afro-Peruvian
jazz...profoundly moving." - Doug Ramsey, ArtsJournal

 |  |  |  | | | | | | |  | Click here to buy MONTRE ECHO: THE NEAR FOREVER | MONTRE ECHO is a new genre-bending collaboration between
electronica sorceress Mary Ancheta and jazz pianist Geoffrey Keezer.
Shapeshifting and merging elements as diverse as a 5-year-old Keezer
gleefully noodling on an Arp synthesizer, Ancheta's vast palette of
unusual beats and found sounds, Keezer's bass driving a late 90's
downtown alt-rock band and artifacts from his latest recording "Aurea",
MONTRE ECHO grabs your ears and levitates above the mundane and noisy
hordes of mash-ups and remixes. ***$1 from every CD sold will be donated to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC)***
