The third CD by the BBQ: The Beltway Brass Goes to Church
- International Trumpet Guild Journal review -
"...skillfully written arrangements by the group's trumpeters...
The percussion and vocal trio provide support, as does Tom Holtz's tuba, which colors and envelops
the ensemble with a warm, but authoritative, sound.
...rewarded with many moments of enjoyable listening." [January 2016]

The first CD by the BBQ: Holiday Drive
- Washington Post Review - "...inventive jazz
arrangements... Some tracks are deliriously jaunty,
some... feature a lush evocative sprawl; and on their Santa
Claus Is Coming to Town, he's bouncing all the way."

cheer." [read the
whole review]
- Free Lance-Star newspaper article - "There probably wasn't ever anything whimsical about
brass quintet music until the Dixie Power Trio's Zack Smith decided to try his hand at it."

- International Trumpet Guild Journal review - "...there is something to please everyone on this CD. The
ensemble sounds crisp and very tight throughout. Of special note is Andy Kochenour's tuba playing as he sets the groundwork
for some interesting improvised solos. This is most definitely an ensemble of seasoned musicians. ...I look forward
to many more recordings from this dynamic quintet." [March 2006]
- ChristmasReviews.com Review - "Holiday Drive is a great blend of exuberant joy and
thoughtful contemplation. You can just feel how much fun these folks are having! Oompah!"
