ROGER BEAUJOLAIS
From Reviews In:
Observer (‘03 &’05) by Dave Gelly:
“The vibraphone is capable of great tonal variety, from the tinkling of icicles to a warm, pulsating cloud of sound, and Roger Beaujolais deploys it all with consummate skill and delicacy…The man turns up playing vibraphone in so many diverse contexts - salsa, acid jazz, R & B, pop - that it makes a nice change to have … the "real" Roger Beaujolais…as not only a masterly instrumentalist but a highly imaginative leader.”

Guardian (03 & 05) by John Fordham:

British vibraphonist Roger Beaujolais made a mark over a decade ago as part of the local acid-jazz movement, but this is…unflinchingly straightahead jazz
Maybe it's his name, but Beaujolais has trouble shaking off a frivolous, party-on jazz image with the more sober of enthusiasts… has been a club success from the acid-jazz era onwards. Elements of pop & R & B are powerful features of his work …Beaujolais' mix of firm emphasis and mellow tone, coupled with a shapely sense of improvised melody, gives much of it an unexpected richness and bounce;
