It is a landmark album that should hold almost universal appeal to anyone who has even a mild love for jazz or chill, as well as groove-oriented instrumental music.
NEXT truly is the "next big thing."
- Bill Binkelman (Wind and Wire)
NEXT slides down into your soul like your favorite ice cream on a hot summer day.
You feel satisfaction and complete joy.
This is relaxation and satisfaction taken to the next level.
- Keith Hannalek (New Age Music Reviews)
Jeff Oster's music is fantastic, and the title track for his new album is a tight,minimalist, New Age haze of a tune where trumpets drone over a
slow and funky beat.
- Charlie Ambler (Vice Magazine)
Next is a pleasure to drop into. It knows it’s cool and doesn’t overplay its hand.
It’s happy to just lay out its vibe because it knows you’ll dig it and you’ll let it spin again when it’s done...If you’ve got even the slightest interest in jazz, nab this.
Seriously tasty stuff.
- John Shanahan (Hypnagogue Reviews)
This recording is a remarkable achievement that furthers Jeff Oster’s stature as one of the foremost musicians of the genre.
