Graham Young media

“Peg, Pog, Pig” is spectacular; a track which puts in the spotlight a devastating solo by Graham Young, the band’s guitarist. Although playing fusion, Young shows that he also has a lot of affinity with rock instrumental guitarists, sealing his performance with spectacular scales . From the little I’ve heard, you can deduce that the Urban Jazz Guerrillas could well become, in a short space of time, one of the cardinal groups in the rebirth of modern jazz."

Roberto Guarnieri ( Thunder, HM, Metal Shock, AudioReview..etc)

"Jazz with more balls than the premiership."

“The Urban Jazz Guerrillas proceeded to tear up the place with a set of their original material. Despite the fact the no one in the audience neither knew much less cared what jazz fusion is the UJG won them over with a mix of great tunes, great playing and great showmanship. One to watch….”
Live review by James Bradley, promoter at Carpe Diem, Leeds
 
“The best guitarist in town.”
Mick Lake, promoter at The Primrose, Leeds

“I try never to fall into the nonsense of saying that any individual musician or band is the "best" but Graham Young is certainly one of the best guitarists I have ever heard, anywhere.”
Steve Kind: Panama Promotions, taken from live review for Wrath Records
 
“Breathing new life into the long dead corpse of Jazz Rock”

And a little something from times past.....

From a live review of Parallel or 90 degrees

"The band was sounding really tight with the twin keyboards of Andy Tillison and Sam Baine working really well. Next up was the track Afterlifecycle, a magical 15-minute opus about a near-death experience. This really showed the band's song-writing skills and musicianship, with Graham Young’s guitar-work being extraordinary. He has a showman’s speed and virtuosity and yet manages to blend this with taste and texture."
