Reception

The Down Beat review by Carlo Wolff states "Adasiewicz, a man of Monkish wit, composes tunes that often start with an orthodox structure, but then devolve into free playing. This is inclusive music, its melodies as memorable as its rhythms are unpredictable."

The All About Jazz review by Marc Corroto says "Adasiewicz's From The Region is a power trio recording masquerading as a jazz band."

In a review for JazzTimes David Whiteis states "Adasiewicz’s lush harmonies, roomy echo, unforced attack and expansive, non-linear melodic/chordal structures evoke dreamlike soundscapes both warm and captivating."

The Point of Departure review by Troy Collins notes "A modernist at heart, Adasiewicz’s harmonically sophisticated approach builds upon the legacy of stylists like Walt Dickerson and Bobby Hutcherson."
