"Born and raised in Cincinnati (and schooled at the University of Louisville), this 24-year-old young lion is ready to put all of his years of studying music to good use. The saxman already has made inroads in his new home base of Philly....."
Mike Breen, Music Editor, Cincinnati Citybeat 9/21/05
"They say you can't go home again, but fortunately for jazz lovers, B.J. Jansen doesn't buy that old clich?."
Jennie Key, Community Press Editor, The Northwest Press
"If you love the classic Blue Note/Prestige hard bop and post-bop albums of the late '50s and early '60s, BJ Jansen & Conjura are just the ticket for a smoking Friday night. Styling their front line of baritone saxophone and trumpet after hallowed outfits led by Pepper Adams and Donald Byrd, Conjura carry a torch of Philly jazz with universal appeal. The quintet's performance of Wayne Shorter's "Fe Fi Fo Fum," for example, pays respect without being overly slavish, while originals like "Street Walk" and "Mom's Dilemma" are harmonically adventurous within madly swinging post-bop arrangements."
Ken Micallef, Staff Jazz Contributor, Philadelphia Weekly 1/25/06
"B.J. Jansen and Conjura: Led by baritone saxophonist Jansen, Conjura continues to establish itself in Philadelphia's jazz circles, channeling the spirit of Pepper Adams/Donald Byrd groupings of the 1950s and '60s."
Al Hunter Jr., Staff Jazz Writer, Philadelphia Daily News 1/27/06
"What does Conjura conjure? Apparently, the sound of vintage Blue Note recordings, circa the '50s. B.J. Jansen heads up this well-regarded Philly ensemble, which showcases his baritone sax and Frank Stagnitta's trumpet -- shades of Blue Note, indeed."
Washington Post 4/28/06
