Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!
Glenn Astarita, 'All About Jazz' 01/09/12

"Since 2003, [JL&BVC] have been crashing and slashing through the jazz-rock idiom, often lying on the perimeter of the avant-garde spectrum. ...the music is often hard-edged and chockfull of off-kilter innuendoes and ballsy soloing excursions. ...Lundbom's intense phrasings and mind-altering solo spots can exude a semblance of systematic paranoia or command the ensemble like a diesel-powered automaton, wielding a mass of destruction through a heavily populated metropolis."

“Lundbom dissects and reassembles jazz-rock fusion, grafting on bits of post-Albert Ayler free jazz and hard bop as he sees fit. ...'Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!' represents a major step forward for JL&BVC. This is a band that, like MOPDTK, constantly takes musical risks and consistently comes up with inspired and spirited, all-original, poly-stylistic 21st Century jazz.”

"'Quavers!' [sic] starts on the wild side and stays there... Big Five Chord isn't afraid to go for the throat if the music calls for it... This is high energy music, combining somewhat straight ahead foundations with a rock execution, and hopefully Lundbom will start getting more attention for his fresh perspective, both as a writer and player."

Grego Applegate Edwards, 'Gapplegate Guitar and Bass Blog' 06/23/11

"Ensemble music of a definite currency. Adventurous, a bit electric, loping, freestyling and rocking along with some very interesting lines and excellent solos from the principals... Lundbom has a definitely-subtly-quirky sense of what goes with what... What else? Well it's engaging music. That should be enough to wet your whistle."
