All About Jazz
Trumpeter André Canniere's debut is aural evidence that good things
can descend from the Ivory Tower. Every one of the players on As of
Yet is an Eastman School of Music grad (Canniere in 2003), but they
transcend the typical stereotypes often associated with
university-trained musicians, the most common being that they
“think” the music, rather than “feel” it.

Jazz & Tzaz
Canniere's music is a blend of electric and acoustic sounds, open to
the pop/rock attitude and phraseology with trades through the indie

influences including Dave Douglas, Michael Brecker and Bill Frisell,
as well as Radiohead, often refering to both large and small ensemble
traditions.

as least as much in common melodically with quiet indie-rock as with
the traditional jazz ballad.
