Hear what they are saying about Josh and Midwest Coast…
“Rzepka displays a refreshing grasp of melody and economy of phrase, and, in the singularly lovely “Song for a New Year,” he expresses emotional depth beyond his 25 years.” – Carlo Wolff – Cleveland SCENE
“…an impressive display of chops and taste…Rzepka has crafted a winning, listenable recording debut. Mainstream, bop-based jazz at its most accessible, Midwest Coast is never bland or overly smooth.” – Carlo Wolff – Cleveland SCENE
“Rzepka, who plays with a cool, relaxed warm tone…” – Malcolm X Abram: Akron Beacon Journal
“…There are pretty ballads, a few bossa-novas…and some straight-ahead swinging bop such as the title tune, which should get jazz lovers’ toes tapping.” – Malcolm X Abram – Akron Beacon Journal
