...Since their formation in 2007, they have molded that diversity into a most impressive ensemble, their performances meticulous, vital, responsive to nuance, and tonally rich...the Oasis Quartet’s precision — even passagework, uniformity of tone, seamless line, and unfailing balance and intonation — is most impressive.
...the Oasis Quartet does an extraordinary job of blending as a chamber ensemble during the course of this beautiful work (Glass)...Highly technical and virtuosic, each of the members of the quartet easily demonstrate the high levels of ability and artistry each of them have on their instruments while seamlessly moving between the various sections of the work (Escaich)...During the work (Gotkovsky) each of the members of the quartet again demonstrate their abilities to perform with beautiful blend, tone, and rhythmic accuracy demonstrated at the highest level. The Finale is an extremely powerful and exciting way to end both the work and recording. ...The members of the quartet should be applauded for their high attention to detail and musicianship in performing these powerful works.
The Oasis Quartet's performance is brilliant, strong and exciting...The playing is just simply lovely, with dead-on tuning, tasteful and elegant articulation and stunning virtuosity. - Sue Fancher, for Saxophone Journal.
...The saxophones of the Oasis Quartet bound through the full range of expression and energy in their new self-titled release on the Innova label...The group’s members – James Bunte, Dave Camwell, Nathan Nabb and James Romain – unite the CD’s stylistically divergent content with their collective crispness, obvious instrumental mastery and subtly executed interpretations...
...The Oasis Quartet performs with impeccable technique and intonation, and the players have a sweet, pure tone...
...the Oasis Quartet–the group and the album–offers up a generous serving of sinuous saxophone for lovers of clean tones.
