"Josh Arcoleo is blessed with a voice and a vision that's already mature and full of authority.. 'Beginnings' is a timeless album. It's immediately modern and wonderfully assured and yet the entire tradition of jazz's first instrument seems to flow through it. Arcoleo has a highly personal tone on his horn and there's an individuality about his sound that is bold and commanding. Some musicians take years to learn these lessons and others never do. Josh Arcoleo, with already plenty of road miles under his belt, definitely has gravitas, that rarest of qualities, and he has it in spades. Josh Arcoleo is blessed with a voice and a vision that's already mature and full of authority. Beginnings is one of the most complete debut albums in a long time. More than that, its title warns of things to come. This is so much more than just the Beginnings. 'A precociously mature player who already possesses an individual and compelling voice'. -?
