Grasping for the Moon

Giess acquits himself nicely with lyrical, highly expressive trumpet work. - Bill Milkowski - Downbeat 2021

G.C. Weston of Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time, James Blood Ulmer and John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards.

A blast of firepower funk to end the day. 

- Jim Hynes - Post Genre Media 2025

His easy chortle comes as part of the entire package of propulsive paradiddles, complex polyrhythms, and ferocious four-on-the-floors. - Jazz times - 2024
