Influences: The Sun
Sounds Like: "About as revolutionary as music can actually get." ~ The Wire
"One of the most unique jazz guitarists to emerge in decades."
~ Harvey Pekar, JazzTimes
"Strikingly original." ~ Downbeat
"Outrageously exciting." ~ Ben Watson
"Disarmingly hypnotic." ~ Derek Taylor
"a matchless voice" ~ Jazzreview.com
"This guitarist often sounds as if he's disassembling the instrument. He isn't; he's breaking down preconceived notions of harmony, melody, rhythm, and sound itself - and the effort can be as exhilarating as the results."
~ FRANCIS DAVIS, VILLAGE VOICE 2006
"Eisenbeil's prophetic voice comes like a streak of light out of nowhere surprising us with his range of intensity and extensive vocabulary of sounds that quickly develop into torrid dialogues with Evans and Robinson building into a fiercely collective conversation."
~ Jazz Improv Magazine, Winter 2007
