press quotes

Boston Common Brass
"a very colorful composition..
an excellent 20th century work employing several innovative compositional techniques that are thought-provoking, effective, fun to play,
and fairly simple to produce."
- ITG Journal, May 1989

Alternating semi-aleatory "free" sections with completely notated ones, and climaxing toward the end of its five-minute span in "erratic bursts" of sonic fireworks, the work is both attractive and powerful.
- I.S.A.M. Newsletter, Brooklyn College,
May 1988

Tower Piece
"Of the four fanfares,
the most interesting turned out to be
a peppery series of contrapuntal flourishes
by Jean Hasse."
- Los Angeles Times, July 1987
