2022

The debut of my Assembláge Jazz Orchestra on April 3rd at Birdland in New York City.

It was a beautiful, exhilarating, and thought-provoking performance. Ed Neumeister is the Picasso of music. Testing the grounds of music and in the process creating his own unique style and sound that should not be missed. He is a treasure of the music world. Holli Harms Front Row Center

2021

What Have I Done? Ed Neumeister Quartet with Gary Versace - piano, Drew Gress - contrabass & Tom Rainey - drums.

Rarely does a trombonist show such versatility on his horn within a CD. Expect to find What Have I Done? on many critics’ Best of 2021 lists.
