Jazz Times, 2003 Nate Chinen
"Ultimately, that's the triumph of Nash's music: not that it bridges the gap but that it occupies its own space."

Washington Post, 2003 Steve Futterman
"Nash fills his solos with ideas rather than rote lines; he's a consistently thoughtful player who bulks up his melodic statements with controlled passion."

Downbeat Magazine, July 2003 James Hale
"Small group interplay this good should always bring a smile to your face."

Japan Times CD Review, June 2003 Michael Pronko
"On this, his sixth release, Nash shows that technical brilliance and innovative indulgence only describe one side of jazz expression; beauty and delicacy are on the other."

jazzreview.com, June 2003 Glenn Astarita
"Simply put, this is Nash's finest statement to date, due to the artist's multifaceted compositional style and the group's razor sharp interplay."

Ottawa Citizen, August 2003 Staff Writer
"Nash earns his place among jazz's elite..."

JazzReview, July 2003 Fred Grand
"There are many remarkable things about this record...Still Evolved looks both backwards and forwards equally convincingly and is unreservedly recommended."

All About Jazz, 2003 Various
Two reviews of the CD Still Evolved, and a review of the band's appearance at the Village Vanguard in May, 2003.

Absolute Sound Magazine, 2003 Fred Kaplan
"The music has a soulful swing and ensemble mesh reminiscent of an Art Blakey album, but with a few extra dashes of freedom -- a greater willingness to alter meters, shift keys, and stretch the tension of a minor chord, with no rush or, for that matter, need to resolve all the loose ends of a phrase."

Detroit Free Press, June 2003 Mark Stryker
"Nash favors a sleek tone, lean ensemble lines layered over swinging rhythms, broad and sly stylistic references and a compelling marriage of brainy ideas and rootsy emotions."

g21.net, 2003 Bob Powers
"Still Evolved will soon become a favorite CD for everyone who's adventurous enough to buy a copy. Play it 20 times and it will sound just as good as it did when it first was placed on the turntable. This is a superb album and you should give it a listen. "

Hartford Courant, 2003 Richard Kamins
"His new Palmetto recording, "Still Evolved," is a fiery, swinging, collection of "blowing" tunes that are not formulaic but energizing."

Jazziz, October 2003 John Frederick Moore
"It's a testament to Nash's skills as a musician, bandleader, and composer that the trumpet player's (Wynton Marsalis) presence doesn't overwhelm the other stellar contributions on this fine collection, Nash's sixth as a leader."

The Sacramento Bee, 2003 Marcus Crowder
"Nash is a confident and quirky soloist who finds interesting spaces within the strong melodies and swinging, straight-ahead rhythms he has written."

eJazzNews, 2003 Staff Writer
"Through his innovative and introspective work, Ted Nash is steadily building acclaim for himself as a leader in addition to his reputation as a star sideman for such artists as Marsalis and Mel Lewis. More importantly, it's clear he is evolving by competing only against himself."
