The album has already enjoyed significant radio airplay on 25 separate
stations and shows in markets that include Boston; Portland; Detroit;
Albuquerque; Raleigh, NC; Toledo, OH; and Omaha, NE; as well as in
Canada and Australia. The reception from the press has been no less
supportive:
"The unwavering dedication of the members of MNMP to the legacy of
Nash and his incomparable work is heard in bursts of joyous
conviction, anguish and urgency. Jazz Cycles, amazingly recorded in a
single six-hour session, is an adventure in risk taking. Nash left a
bright light shining on the music world." - John Barron, All About
Jazz
"A worthy memorial project and makes one hope the Paul Nash Memorial
Fund has further success in bringing more of his compositions to a
wider audience." - J.B. Spins, jbspins.blogspot.com
"Jazz Cycles" is one of the last recordings Paul produced with his
ensemble, the Manhattan New Music Project, but the material in this
set has been developed over many years. These pieces have a richness
which makes them worth playing and hearing many times over. Paul's
compositions were orchestrated with compelling accompaniments and
background figures that inspired his soloists to greater heights.
Additionally, Paul included beautifully scored ensemble passages
utilizing the wide variety of instrumental colors available in his
ensemble. Written from materials collected over the course of 30 years
and completed in the last year of his life, Jazz Cycles is a kind of
suite where each track may be heard as a movement in a larger artistic
structure.

Now in its seventeenth year of programming, Manhattan New Music
Project is a performing arts organization that is recognized worldwide
for artistic excellence in jazz and contemporary music. Begun in 1990
by a group of like-minded composers with the aim of fostering the
creation and presentation of new musical works, MNMP has sought to
cross traditional musical boundaries and catalyze imaginative projects
and collaborations involving the creation of new work through
performances, recordings, educational and collaborative activities.
