WORDS FOR THE FARTHEST REACH

 “A hard swinging musician who conjures up images of magical vistas…He combines logic with magic, often coming up with almost inexplicable phrases and lines that not only seem plausible but seem to fit in a sort of mystical way, like fire on a mountain and rumbling deep within the earth.”

                                                            Raul D’Gama Rose, All About Jazz

"...A sublime collection of original and classic jazz that deserves repeated listening."

                                                             Robert Bush, San Diego Reader

“
“Richly rewarding, The Farthest Reach grooves without letting up for a second.”

                                                            Glen Hall, Exclaim!

“There is a Lyle Mays-esque feel to his full-bodied, melodically rich and often swinging style.”

                                                            Stuart Derdeyn, The Province

The Farthest Reach is a testament both to Keeling’s sophisticated understanding of the jazz idiom and his particular bent toward meditative explorations that often seem closer to landscapes than songs…Keeling takes a decidedly expansive approach, shaping soft-edged melodies that rely more on sensitive phrasing than flashy finger play…”

                                                        Joe Nickel, The Missoulian
