Brad Linde
On the Lee Konitz with the Brad Linde Ensemble performance:
"The band had a very warm sound, matching the atmosphere, and the arrangements and playing were fantastic. Seeing all these young musicians get a chance to play with such an icon was also inspiring. Everyone not only fit into the style of music, but also added to the conversation. Here's hoping we get to see more of the Konitz/Linde collaboration in the District."

"Brad Linde plays with a drive, respect for the tradition,
and energy far beyond his years."
-Jon Metzger, composer/vibist
"Linde plays with the fire of today through the reflexive eyeglasses of
the masters. With a deep, rich and full-bodied tone, he quests for
harmonic truth through melodic convergence."
- Dr. Thomas R. Erdmann, Saxophone Journal
