“You absolutely got to buy this album? I just finished listening to it in its entirety. Great tunes! Great fidelity! It’s a wonderful expression of who he is as an individual. It’s beautiful, creative, fun, energetic, soulful, and a top tier representation of Coloradoan musicianship. Go to his site and buy this album. I did. It was easy with no issues or hassles. Cost less than what you would spend at McDonalds nowadays. AND, way better for you!!” said Clint Thompson of Thompound Recording Studios.
“John Paul Riger’s JET TUNES is a pure delight in every respect: composition, performance, arrangements and production. Riger covers the bases, from Funk and Groove (All The Forbidden Rules) to more traditional (Rosa Latina); Blues (Blues All The Time, Heart Of Colorado); Nostalgic (Green Hammond Eggs); International (Sultan’s Dream, El Amazonas) and Smooth Jazz (In A Funk) as examples. His rich bluesy voice perfectly complements the arrangements on the tracks with vocals while instrumentals speak for themselves. A perfectly balanced jazz fusion album!” said Dave Taylor, Producer, Cool Brick Studios
“Original, unique, layers of talent! Looking forward to more by John Paul Riger,” said Dave Gann, Montrose, Colorado
