| Corey Christiansen, OUTLAW TRACTOR (Origin 82562) "From the first note, Christiansen lights a rhythmic fire that never flickers, punctuating chords with precision and soloing with zeal..." Following up on 2008's Roll With It, Corey Christiansen's critically acclaimed Origin debut, the dynamic guitarist returns with a vengeance on Outlaw Tractor, another grooving, soul-jazz offering featuring his working band, including New York organist Pat Bianchi, saxophonist David Halliday and drummer Matt Jorgensen. Moving easily from the funky "When You Want" and "Outlaw Tractor" to the driving "Big Kids" and "Starstepper," Christiansen's soulful compositions and precise yet earthy guitar talents define an album that's destined to become a classic. One listen to Outlaw Tractor and you'll understand why All About Jazz called Christiansen's Origin debut, "one of the most satisfying soul-jazz recordings of the year."

| Corey Christiansen, ROLL WITH IT (Origin 82513) “His stinging, elastic solo lines are marvels of technique, precision, invention and storytelling prowess...” - Steve Pick / St. Louis Post-Dispatch From the clean, rapid-fire soloing of the opening track, to the edgy guitar sounds of "Sideways," guitarist Corey Christiansen exploits the nuances of the instrument, while showcasing an expansive compositional palette on "Roll With It," his third recording as a leader. Christiansen explores a set of originals firmly planted in the soul-jazz tradition yet with a modern improvisational group aesthetic.
