about

"The “trickiness” of this music is remarkably inviting. Rather than seeming technical or egg-headed, Finlayson’s themes seems natural and flowing, as if the irregular measure counts developed from breathing or walking rather than music school fancy-pantsiness. Jonathan Finlayson, in Moment & the Message, has created a great modern jazz record that also sounds like joy and feels like a dance."
--Pop Matters

"...Trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson...straddles the mathematical and the colloquial so well on this debut that he seems bound for the stature of Coleman, Lehman and Tim Berne, and even of the great Henry Threadgill before them."
--The Guardian

"This music manages a collision of complexity and almost pop-like pleasure"
--Pop Matters

"...Moment & The Message, not only displays his insightful playing and individualism but also some imposing composing skills."
--All About Jazz
