“Ciprut is nothing if not versatile, and these songs mix jazz, rock and blues in a way that brings to mind Jimi Hendrix, Grant Green and Wes Montgomery, which I have no doubt anyone is going to have a problem with”

Take Effect Reviews

“Here is a beautiful album by New York guitarist Marc Ciprut, whose music is influenced by the many different musicians he listened to while growing up. From Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and Grant Green to Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Donny Hathaway… In fact, while this album may fall under the jazz category, it is primarily defined by the intentions behind its composition. However, you will find sources of blues, rock, and many other musical styles in it.

Marc Ciprut’s style is perfectly recognizable, producing a pleasant, rich, and surprising album here, never allowing the listener to escape. The overall atmosphere leans more towards rock than jazz, but it doesn’t matter because the pleasure derived from listening to this album is real. One would have to be truly difficult to not appreciate it. With these seven tracks, superbly accompanied by Jimmy Haslip and James Genus on bass, Scott Kinsey, Jon Cowherd, Jeremy Manasia, and Etienne Lytle on keyboards, Tommi Rautiainen on drums, and Steven Santoro on vocals.”

“This project was co-produced by Jimmy Haslip, a former member of the very popular jazz fusion band, The Yellowjackets. Marc Ciprut brings spunk and funk to every tune, with a thread of fusion running through the arrangements. Most importantly, every tune is simmered in the blues."

Making A Scene

“Steeped in the multi-dimensional realm of fusion, where divergent musical streams coalesce to spawn innovative sonic expression, emerges a vibrant exemplar: Marc Ciprut. This New cYork based maestro of the strings, a guitarist, composer, and producer of remarkable caliber, unfurls his latest musical narrative, Blue House.”
