“If you appreciate prescient jazz with a decidedly New York flair, this is one record club you will not regret joining. Your senses will be richly rewarded.
--Guy Lemcoe, The Audio Beat”
“Jack DeJohnette's first-ever solo piano album, Return, is a beautiful record in every sense, and, in DeJohnette's words, 'one of the best musical endeavours I've ever done.'
--Geoff Winston, London Jazz News”
“In an era in which we deeply crave beauty in our lives, this album provides a respite from maddening influences. Jack wanted to make a record that was “a return to something basic and universal and beautiful.” That he has done…
--Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition”
“The sound is beautifully crisp, and the packaging — with work by the French photographer Bernard Plossu and the American poet Tracy K. Smith — is elegant and spare.
--Nate Chinen, The New York Times”
“Patitucci exhibits the perfect blend of respect for the original intention of these compositions, and the adventurous spirit that allows the trio to put a unique stamp on these works.
--Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz”
“This is surely among the best recorded albums I have heard, but not in a clinical way. Turn it up, close your eyes, and the band is in the room, such is the dynamic range, accuracy and richness of the sound.
--John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald”
“Newvelle Record’s latest release in their LP subscription series continues their winning streak in issuing state of the art LP recordings. Following in the foot steps of Frank Kimbrough’s Meantime and Jack DeJohnette’s Return, Noah Preminger’s Some Other Time boasts impeccable acoustics and a moody tenderness in an exploration of largely blues ballads. The interplay between the quartet is striking.
--Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition”
“This is music produced by people who care about music and want to present it in a way that expresses their love for it. It presents a modern take on music from a golden era, and it recalls a time when discovering new musical adventures was as much of a tactile experience as it was an aural one.

“In its focus on vinyl and its distinctive, brand-coherent album art, Newvelle is a kind of throwback to jazz’s midcentury glories. But it’s also timely.
--Giovanni Russonello,
The New York Times”
“With this all-star band in tow, Preminger does what he does best—he tells a compelling story without frills, relying on raw talent and he does it better than he has ever done before.
--Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz”
“The sound combines great dynamics and excellent detail. More importantly, the music and sound is good enough to demand repeated listening. Highly recommended.
--Dennis Davis, Hi-Fi+”
“Beau son, mais aussi bel objet. La pochette de chaque album est une œuvre en soi puisqu'elle accueille des photos de Bernard Plossu et des poèmes de Tracy K Smith (Prix Pulitzer 2012).
--France Inter”
“Jazz and vinyl lovers considering whether to subscribe to Newvelle can count on solid, gimmick-free, well-recorded jazz by a label that quickly found its own identity. The production standards are exceptional, and the clear 180-gram platters sounds great.
--Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound”
“If you’re a Newvelle Records subscriber, you know what to expect from each new release. If you’re not, get out that checkbook and sign up. This music is too urgent to be missed.
--Guy Lemcoe, The Audio Beat”
“He finds a meditative space of his own. At no point does he sound like a drummer merely dabbling in melody and harmony — and yet his command of rhythm is as profound and inexplicable in this format as in any other.
--Nate Chinen, The New York Times”
