"There's wallpaper music and "major league" stuff; "No Respect" belongs without the slightest doubt to the latter category... right here you'll find a kind of adventurous playing never falling short of the highest level of creativity...The rhythm section formed by Duval and Rosen is one of the best I've listened to in years." --Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes

"[No Respect] features one of the finest and most in-demand rhythm sections around. Mark's wonderfully distinctive, bittersweet alto sax tone is always reaching for great depths and heights. There is a constant searching spirit that connects all three members of this trio, they swagger, fly, wail, dig in and sail together. Bravo!!" -- Bruce Lee Gallanter, proprietor, Downtown Music Gallery

"The man is an absolute master of the alto saxophone and clarinet (not to mention a dab hand at electronics), and one of the finest and most original jazz composers in the world, and has been for years." --
Dan Warburton, Signal To Noise & Paris Transatlantic

"The trio of Dominic Duval, Jay Rosen and Mark Whitecage convey a strong sense of intimacy...three musicians picking up a spark of current and transforming it into brilliant light. Their music has rushing absorbability, rolling mightily along and gathering momentum as the sound of reeds, bass and drums all intertwine cohesively. The entire performance clicks along seamlessly, yielding gems of improvised beauty at every turn." --
Frank Rubolino, AllAboutJazz.com

On Monday, September 15 there is a very special appearance at 55Bar by a band that performs mostly in Europe -- NO RESPECT DUVAL/ROSEN/WHITECAGE. No Respect - Duval/Rosen/Whitecage features Mark Whitecage on alto and soprano saxophone and clarinet; Dominic Duval on bass, and Jay Rosen on drums. No Respect Duval/Rosen/Whitecage has performed and recorded together for almost a decade. Combining that longevity with the wealth of their individual experience and their musical interplay becomes a fascinating blend of empathy and alchemy. When this group performs the word is, "you were one of the best bands we've ever heard."

Mark Whitecage has a half-century of live performance and almost 50 recordings to his credit with such leading artists as Jeanne Lee, Anthony Braxton, Marshall Allen, Perry Robinson, Sabir Mateen, Joe McPhee, Gunter Hampel, Steve Swell, Joseph Scianni and Saheb Sarbib. He leads a number of acoustic and electro/acoustic ensembles as well as performing as a soloist. Dominic Duval is in demand as leader of several string ensembles and as a soloist. He is a member of the Cecil Taylor Unit and Trio and performs and records with Joe McPhee, Paul Smoker, Joseph Scianni and Ivo Perelman. Jay Rosen leads his own quartet and is the drummer of choice in performance and on record dates with Sonny Simmons, Michael Marcus, Paul Smoker, Herb Robertson, Ivo Perelman, Joe McPhee and Vinny Golia.
