�.......the fest was a huge overall success, not least because of the strength of local musicians like... and alto saxist Jennifer Bell, whose brass quintet Streetnix maintained its spunk through daily performances�.
Larry Birnbaum, Downbeat Magazine.
�I was especially impressed with Streetnix, a sort of cut-down version of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. They played everything from Gillespie to Monk to Mingus�.
Leonard Feather The Jazz Times
�They are an acoustic street band with a happy, loose, eclectic sound caught somewhere between the taut horn-lines of a post-sixties stageband, and a kind of brass dixie feel. What they do, beyond doubt, is play contagious good-time music�.
Stephen Pederson The Halifax Mail Star
�The reliance on brass, and the colorful stage performances give the band�s music a dixieland feel, although it�s repertoire spans jazz history as well as Funk, R �n B, and the brass oriented rock bands like Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears and Huey Lewis�.
Mark Tunney The Saint John Evening Times Globe
�UGLY BAGS OF MOSTLY WATER� is a promising debut that demonstrates the variety in the band�s repertoire�.
Jim Little Hour
�This album reflects the funky & colorful spirit of the band�.
Musicien Quebecois
�STREETNIX is one of the groups that brings atmosphere to the streets of Montr�al and makes jazz accessible to all�.
