“Jane Bunnett and Maqueque… utterly shatters the glass ceiling of Afro Cuban Jazz” Boston Globe, Sep 2014
“Canadian Jane Bunnett continues her tradition of presenting the roots of American music in modern jazz packages that continues to impress and inspire.”
George W. Harris – L.A. Jazz Weekly – May 2015
“The band certainly rose to the occasion on the Jay Pritzker Pavilion stage, and their combination of joyousness, ferocity and soulfulness prompted sustained calls for an encore. To my surprise, Bunnett and Maqueque played the only encore that I heard at the Chicago festival’s main stage, in defiance of the event’s clockwork precision.”
2015 Chicago Jazz Festival – Peter Hum – The Ottawa Citizen – Sep 2015
“…But it was the performance of Jane Bunnett and Maqueque that was perhaps the biggest success of the weekend… The combination of Cuban percussion, new wave jazz and hints of R’n’B paired against the Canadian flautist and saxophonist was utterly mesmerising… Maqueque embodied all the energy seen on the blues stage, with the refined, more considered approach typical of the jazz hall.”
Jeremy Story Carter – ABC – Nov 2015 – Australia’s Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival
