"Leonhard offsets the emotional heaviness of the Suites with some lighter tracks, including the pop rocking Elvis Costello collaborations “Shut Him Down,” ft. Joshua Redman, Chris Potter and JSWISS."

"Each component of the suite is sufficiently distinctive... it’s impossible not to get swept up in its grandeur, or to appreciate the love that went into its creation."

"Sprawling and ambitious, The Normyn Suites is an engaging album of genre-bending mood music that leaves you contemplating Leonhart's expansive creative voice and the dog that inspired him."

"[Shut Him Down, the opening track, is] an Afrobeat strut with stinging organ, pumping horns, subtly mocking female backing vocals, a guest lead vocal from Elvis Costello."

@nytimes-
The gold standard. The creme de la creme. The "haut monde". I'd like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to @GioRussonello and the Times for helping get the word out on what may be my most personal album so far, "The Normyn Suites".

"Calling trumpeter, composer, producer and bandleader Micheal Leonhart a musical journeyman would be an understatement. Maybe genius is over used in this day and age, but Leonhart is closer to that term on the talent scale."

Thank you, @somethngelse!
