Aardvark Steps Out (1993) |

This debut CD is a great sampler of the band's range, "from screech to swing" as the Boston Phoenix said. Here is a sampling of response to our music:
"Aardvark Steps Out, footprints a rumble with jurassic import and power. The uncontrollable aspects of a juggernaut unleashed provide much of the Aardvark's awe-inspiring audience fascination." Downbeat
". . . relentless dedication to a cutting-edge approach . . . with exciting exploratory solos." Boston Globe
"Aardvark Steps Out is a bracing walk on the wild side of the big band spectrum. . . Aardvark suggests the best and brashest of Charles Mingus, Gil Evans, George Russell, and even Frank Zappa. . . In all, a refreshing breath of spirited yet structured rebellion from the tried and true. On, Aardvark!" Jazz Times
