Ol Skool

"This guy is great...sorry I'm a latecomer!" -Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio)

“A cross between Ezra Pound in the metro and some alternative spoken word down by the Green Mill in Chicago…he takes unexpected twists and turns, puts lyrics you have to listen to at least thrice in order to decipher the deeptitudes being discussed. Sometimes it swings, sometimes it grooves but there is always something emotionally moving going on.” -Kalamu ya Salaam

"Berlin based pianist, vocalist, lyricist, and composer Sean Haefeli mesmerized us with his vocal jazz that’s sprinkled with welcome notes of Jose James and Gil Scott-Heron.  Others have referenced Last Poets, Roberta Flack, Michael Franti, Bobby McFerrin, and Gregory Porter when speaking about his music. Looks like dude has a pretty fail proof thing going on as far as many are concerned." Giant Step
