"It's clearly been my experience as a listener, that The October Trio...is performing some of the freshest, vital contemporary jazz on the Canadian scene today” – Ken Pickering, Artistic Director, Vancouver International Jazz Festival

“This is a CD with a tangible sense of place. 3 and ½ stars"
– Down Beat Magazine


"Looks Like Its Going To Snow has no shortage of strengths, from intriguing compositions to extraordinarily inventive players, but at its core it really is all about the ensemble."
– Jazz Times

“unmistakable chemistry and artistic purpose… Among the marvelous elements of Going to Snow is the way it easily and off-handedly incorporates funk and rock elements without becoming a collection that is dominated by a backbeat aesthetic.” 
– Popmatters.com

"Freedom and composition work in tandem and in juxtaposition. The melody sings a delightful song and then disappears leavening the field for Arntzen and Turner to set out again on the paths their imaginations unfurl. They do so in the lockstep of seamless parallel lines and by ricocheting off each other. Surprise springs up constantly. Lush and sparse, fragmented and whole, detailed ornamentation and scraggly linearity are clasped in indelible logic.”
