“Call it jazz-fusion, classically-influenced jazz, or an impressionist piece for the 21st century, Cannon’s Intermission is ultimately up for grabs for anyone interested in going the path less chosen.”

“There’s something about it, it’s hard to describe for me, something that gets to me in a pretty deep place, and I love listening to it.”

“The music on Intermission (Farewell) deserves not to be categorized...The performances here are flawless...intoxicating combination of melody and surprising developments.”

“Intermission (Farewell) doesn’t sound like any jazz album out there...This is the album you want playing at your birth, your prom, your graduation, your wedding, the birth of your first child, and your own funeral — the greatest, most terrific hits of being and feeling human”

“...more of a journey than a collection of songs...The pieces like “Everyday” and “Mofo” weave in and out like audio dreams, while you feel like you’re being taken to various booths at the local sonic carnival. Very personal in approach and delivery.”

“Cannon is on to something here forward leaning tastes can easily embrace...Hard to describe, easy to enjoy-that’s the genre this falls into.”

“ infinitely melodic and elusively ambient. ”

“The truth is Colin Cannon’s latest work, Intermission (Farewell), is hard to describe...It is indeed a unique and creative masterpiece.
”

“Cannon weaves a dizzying variety of musical elements into an engaging and quite entertaining recording; one that practically begs for repeated listens.... Intermission (Farewell) is an incredibly powerful artistic statement that firmly cements Cannon and his band mates in the “musicians to watch” category. Bravo!”

“Radio broadcasts. Lectures. Telephone conversations. Sometimes, the voices are overwhelmed by the music, but at other times, they come through clearly. It’s an interesting element.”

“sweeping, grand, majestic, and beautiful.”

“Cannon proves himself to be the heir to Jon McLaughlin’s throne as the Almighty of Fusion Guitar.”

“Colin Cannon is a fine guitarist and composer... there’s an unmistakable musicality within his playing, and above all in the heart of the composition...there is a boldness about these compositions.”

“Ignited by an intense storm of notes…accurate, precise and dead on…it’s a breathtaking announcement that guitarist Cannon is bursting through the gates with a flash.”

““Cannon’s guitar wizardry will appeal even to listeners who fancy themselves more rock aficionados than jazz...it’s an instant classic by a disciplined and energetic crop of young musicians who know their history.”

“Colin Cannon has absorbed the best of contemporary jazz guitar (Kurt Rosenwinkel, John Scofield, etc.), so it’s not surprising to hear gorgeous tone and innovative runs when he solos.”

“In Summary is an album in the truest sense: ten snapshots that capture different moods, conversations, memories and speculations.”

“Colin Cannon has a beautiful, ringing tone to go along with his considerable facility on the guitar. But his appeal goes way beyond skill; Cannon is an innovative composer with tunes like “Dear Lydian” that investigate the music in imaginative ways.”
