about

"the best local CD of the year" — Buffalo Spree Magazine

“Bucheger’s compositions continuously astound in their inventiveness ... the interplay among the musicians is nigh-on-sublime. This is present-day jazz of the highest order.” — Buffalo News

This music is a response to the jazz genre “hard bop.” It’s my attempt to bring some of the features of that music — direct melodies, rhythmic & melodic hooks, and clear song forms, all informed by the blues — into my writing. I’m not trying to compose hard bop tunes. Instead, I’m trying to explore “hard bop values” in my compositions, and seeing what happens....
