Dogs Outside

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
In addition to leading his own band, bassist Todd Sickafoose has played and recorded with many of the most exciting improvising music groups in San Francisco and Los Angeles including the Scott Amendola Band, the James Carney Group, the Vinny Golia Ensemble, the Jenny Scheinman Quartet, the Justin Morell Septet, the Tony Furtado Project, and Noe Venable and the Ruiners.

Sickafoose studied bass with Charlie Haden and composition with, among others, the late, great Mel Powell. The LA WEEKLY cited Sickafoose as an innovative orchestrator of abstractionist colorations . . . the melodies are strong, the rhythms sophisticated. The Weekly also identified Sickafoose as a hard-driving, technically indomitable bassist: at 24, hes already hard to ignore. (January 22-28, 1999)

5 out of 5 stars The fiery future of jazz.......2000-03-23

The Todd Sickafoose Group kick living spit out of the music staff. Sickafoose is that rare combination: abstract yet passionate. He has assembled a group of musicians around him who know how to converse while keeping all unique voices intact. This debut will be impossible to top. If you care about jazz with muscle, GET THIS CD!

5 out of 5 stars My talented cousin Todd..........2000-03-18

Not only is he my cousin, but the music of Todd's CD "Dogs Ouside" is a masterful blend of bursting energy and colorful rhythm...my favorite being "Workshop," track #5. The swell of intensity and busy saxophones literally made me dance. Congrats, Sickafoose...can't wait to hear more!
