D. Hagen, Ear Magazine:
B for J, conducted by the composer, Daniel Asia, featured sensitive, finely-wrought melodies.
D. Buckley, Tucson Citizen:
B for J was another highlight of the program. Alternating sections of lyrically composed music for flute and bass clarinet were contrasted with a solo trombone and cushioned by an otherworldly bed of higher strings, synthesized organ and rumbling basses. The work seemed timeless and ethereal and was well-received by the audience.
J. Reel, The Arizona Daily Star:
B for J alternates and combines a pair of simple, even pretty melodies (one for flute and bassoon, the other for trombone) which are given an enigmatically tense accompaniment. The work was immediately likable.
