"A juggernaut jazz band, arresting, compelling, and just plain cranked-up"
- Earshot Jazz
"This Seattle sextet does it all: it grooves, it rocks, it squawks - occasionally, it even talks. Mostly it sounds like a New Orleans jazz band on crystal meth."
- Alexander Gelfand / Jazziz
(Critics Pick, Best of 2006)
Reptet achieves "a bittersweet and elegiac mood of orchestral grandeur."
- Downbeat
REPTET is a genre bending band of musicians based out of Seattle, WA. Often categorized as a jazz group due to their drums, bass, and four horn instrumentation, these six multi-
instrumentalists have a far more expansive approach, performing original compositions that incorporate reggae, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk influences and more. Their internationally acclaimed 2006 release, Do This! (Monktail Records) was an Independent Music Award finalist for Best Jazz Record of the Year. They have received two Earshot Golden Ear Awards (celebrating the best of northwest jazz) for Best 'Outside' Jazz Group and Performance of the Year.
Reptet released Chicken or Beef?, their third CD on Monktail Records, in May 2008 and will continue to tour throughout 2009 making their way to Europe in addition to dates in the US.
