 When the Serpent Flies - The Washington Post
---Mike Joyce
...D'earth and Kuhl make for a strong frontline, brash and soulful by turns, while Milner's tone-shifting guitar adds atmospheric touches, funk accents, and blues lyricism. Add (Dawn) Thompson's seductive vocals and curious musings, and you have an album that swiftly stands apart from the competition.
...
The Thompson D'earth Band is becoming known for its
rare combination of exploratory improv, evocative songwriting, and riveting instrumentals. The music is full of
mystery and surprise. Trumpeter/composer John D'earth and vocalist/songwriter Dawn Thompson have been refining their blend of high-intensity jazz improvisiation and hypnotic lyrics over the course of three CDs. Their last CD, Mercury, featured drummer Carter Beauford, symphonic arrangements by D'earth, and a vocal duet between Dawn and Dave Matthews. Their latest, When the Serpent Flies (Cosmology Records), demonstrates what fans experience as the explosive spontaneity of their live gigs.
Trumpeter/composer John D'earth has toured with Bruce Hornsby, recorded with Miles Davis/Quincy Jones and written music for Dave Matthews, the Kronos String Quartet, moe. (Sony Records) and assorted symphony orchestras. The Thompson D'earth Band has brought its unique sound to venues like the Bakersfield Jazz Festival, Chateau Morrissette Music Festival, Starr Hill Music Hall in Charlottesville, VA, Blues Alley in Washington D.C. and the Flint Michigan Jazz Festival, among many others.
