Ombak’s “Framing the Void” CD review in the International Trombone Assoc. Journal v.38, no.1, Jan.2010 issue : ” … it’s certainly not hard to let this disc run top to bottom – and to enjoy every minute of it … Ombak’s fresh new recording draws you in and keeps you involved … this group traverses the musical landscape with ’Mad-Maxian’ abandon but still keeps things firmly planted ‘in the pocket.’ It is a concoction that results in incredibly enjoyable and intriguing music-making … Hooten’s trombone playing is boisterously unhinged at times but always clear and focused … Strong musicianship, clever compositions, turn-on-a-dime improvisations and brilliant recording make FRAMING THE VOID a strong first offering from Ombak.” — [reviewed by] Chris Van Hof.
