“The Kolotov Mocktails’ debut album, ‘Ivy Halls’, is a fun musical journey representing a slew of styles, but they still maintain their signature sound. A visual, enjoyable ride where some tracks will make you get up and dance. Kudos for the original tunes." - Harvie S - New York Jazz Bass Legend, Manhattan School of Music
 

“Ivy Hall This album is one of the best things I’ve heard in a long time. It satisfies every part of the listening experience, from moody waltzes and straight country jamboree to hard progressive driving rock and funk. The musicianship is superb throughout and, above all, it sounds like a group that really enjoys making music together. This is a record that evokes emotion and takes the listener into different worlds with each piece. Congratulations on a job well done!” - Phil Stewart, New York Bop Drummer, Anderson Twins, Grant Stewart

“Ivy Hall, the debut album by the Kolotov Mocktails is a refreshing take on adult contemporary instrumental music. It’s a balanced mixture of elements of Straight Ahead Jazz, Fusion, and Smooth Jazz, with a smidge of Jamgrass.
A true ‘eclectic electric’ sound performed by masterful musicians. My ears thanked me after listening.” - Anthony Wellington, Victor Wooten Camp and Band, Bassist and R&B artist

 

“Ivy Hall by Kolotov Mocktails Modern instrumental music at it’s finest! Fantastic compositions featuring a good bit of musical complexity, yet remaining accessible to all listeners. Lots of great grooves, moods, and cool solos throughout. Bassist John Lang has assembled an amazing group of virtuosic tasteful musicians presented with an Americana vibe but touching upon a myriad of world music textures. I do not like to compare or categorize music, but you will be able to appreciate that these musicians have mastered the entire history of musical styles from roots to today. Do listen, chill and give a toast to Kolotov Mocktails.” - Mick Gaffney, Music Director, American Idol
