“This quartet (Clear Audience) can assay rockist thump alongside supple swing without breaking the mood or flow of musical conversation.”– Jon Garelick, The Arts Fuse
"Since forming in 2005, Clear Audience — comprising saxophonist Andy Voelker, guitarist Steve Fell, bassist Jef Charland, and drummer Luther Gray — has been among the most engaging and rewarding of Boston-based jazz aggregations. Its music ranges from the meditative to the supremely swinging, and its recent album, “Medicine Ball,” was included among the Globe’s Best Local Albums of 2015". - Boston Globe
“(Clear Audience) Four of the best young jazz musicians in town…” - John Garelick, Boston Phoenix
