” John Hollenbeck’s All Can Work is an album of awe-inspiring majesty…Hollenbeck delivers layer after layer for listeners to explore. Shimmering horns, beautifully placed punctuations and little sonic surprises abound. It’s wonderfully complex music played beautifully, with precision and abandon, by a band that has spent a good deal of time together.”
— Frank Alkyer, Downbeat Magazine

“Mr. Hollenbeck, an idiosyncratic drummer and sonic architect, likes to let sounds float around and connect at various angles, misplacing and de-ordering things. In the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, the variety of textures involved is plainly remarkable. So is the range of emotional registers: His music can be dirge-like, ludic, abstracted — sometimes multiple things at once. Those are among the big joys of “All Can Work,” an arresting new album from the ensemble.”
— Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times

“Unique beauty is very much in evidence on Hollenbeck’s third Large Ensemble recording…Hollenbeck does his most outstanding work when he’s playing with big ideas. On “From Trees,” where he translates three early Piet Mondrian studies into three musical sections, the striking composition brings across the moods, colors and lines of each distinct work of art.”
