"...handing off to Olgun over an anchoring accompaniment from Markovitz, who weaves his own tale with thumpy elegance"

         - Andrea Canter, The "Simple Beauty" of Adam Larson, www.JazzPolice.com

 

 

 

" The rest of the rhythm team trio of Raviv Markovitz/b and Jimmy Macbride/d are as kinetic as a ping pong tournament, and deliver a nice focus with Markovitz doing some nice work on the sans horned "Song for Ben and Gidi." 

         - George W. Harris, "Steven Feifke: Peace in Time", www.JazzWeekly.com

 

 

" Does Markovitz have Cuban Roots? From his terse, melodic, often chordally-charged pulse, it would seem so"

- "The O'Farrill Brothers Band: Smart Kids Having Fun On Stage," www.LucidCulture.wordpress.com

" ...Markovitz is clear and strong whether underpinning the whole or articulating a solo - and it's great to hear a bassist who sings along, as he does on One for the Doctor" 

- "Peter Bacon, "Bastian Weinhold-Cityscape," www.TheJazzBreakfast.com 

 

" Bassist Raviv Markovitz and drummer Jason Burger both demonstrate extreme dynamic sensitivity on this number, as they bring things down to a pianissimo whisper before launching back into swinging form"

                                                                                 - Dan Bilawsky, "Adam Kromelow Trio: Youngblood," www.AllAboutJazz.com

 

" Buoyed by Raviv Markovitz's stunning basslines, Clayton mines Raymond's lyrical ideas, leaving space for Cory Cox's popping insertions"
-Andrea Canter, Inner "Strength and Song": The John Raymond Project's Debut Recording, www.JazzPolice.com
" Markovitz is particularly effective in driving the pulse here--we should all be so motivated! The bassist turns in another outstanding solo effort on “The Poor Blindman,” graced by Hekselman’s songful, gentle lines and Raymond’s Milesian incantation"    
                      -Andrea Canter, Inner "Strength and Song": The John Raymond Project's Debut Recording www.JazzPolice.com
 
 

"He's ridiculous...He's like a young Scott LaFaro. He plays piano well too. He's a natural"  -Bruce Gertz, Metronome Magazine
