High Quote

High Quote is an album by jazz pianist Roberto Magris released on the JMood label in 2023, featuring performances by Magris on a small big band format with the JM Horns from Kansas City.

Reception

The All About Jazz review by Jack Bowers awarded the album 3.5 stars and simply states: "While High Quote represents a slight departure for Magris, who is more often heard in smaller-group settings, the results of his ability to adapt are undeniably clear on this first-rate session." The JazzWax review by Mark Myers states: "... a terrific album of originals." The Aoide Magazine review by Eric Harabadian states: "High Quote refers to paying tribute and homage to some of the greats of classic jazz composers and arrangers. From small combos to larger groups Magris proves time and time again that he is a man for all musical seasons. "
