People are talking…

“combined with Peterson’s virtuosity on drums, Hauman’s fresh vocals and cleverly placed lyrics, this album makes an exciting footprint in the neo jazz world.”

“Taking some steps may bring you a long way. Listening to Constance Hauman’s new single “Taking Some Steps Ahead” has, surprisingly enough, the same effect. Hauman’s music is very expressive. It bypasses genre descriptions and labels. It is, for the lack of a better description, cutting-edge sound design – well ahead of the curve.”

“Taking Some Steps Ahead” engages in intense, densely percussive drum and swinging jazz piano jamming that impacts us like blazing pops of colorful emotion, complete with stratospheric vocalizing (some with words, some wordless) that feels like it’s going to carry us up on its hard flapping wings. Free from the confines of that quarantine, Hauman and Pederson are clearly embracing the fresh air of the outdoors and over seven and a half minutes keep sending out sonic blasts of invitation for us to join their jubilant celebration.
