Featured Review: In Transit

"fresh, effusive, and immediately likeable"

Featured Review: In Transit

"Etezady’s 'Glint' suggests... the glint of sunlight on cascading water. This amazingly virtuosic work, which seldom stops for breath and never for reflection, is like a ride down the rapids of the Colorado River."

Fanfare Magazine

Featured Review: In Transit

"Roshanne Etezady’s 'Streetlegal,' inspired by the power and danger of racing cars, is all urban-jazzy underpinnings, striding bass lines in the piano, and technical hurdles for the soprano saxophone soloist. The energy is nearly relentless—and a lot of fun."
