George Colligan's More Powerful Than You Could Possibly Imagine has been receiving a lot of positive attention lately - here's some review excerpts:
Downbeat Magazine, "Editor's Picks" - "Glover contributes tenor fireworks to "More Powerful Than You Could Possibly Imagine", resulting in a track that's just as exciting as a Star Wars lightsaber duel."
The Guardian - "The uninhibited young saxophonist Nicole Glover takes off."
Jazz Views - "‘Today Again’ allows relative newcomer Glover to demonstrate her diamond-hard, centered tone, confident articulation and wealth of creative ideas in a brief solo space."
The Jazz Mann - "The name of saxophonist Nicole Glover...impresses with her contributions on both tenor and soprano. Originally from Portland, Oregon, but now active on the New York jazz scene, Glover is one of Colligan’s former students and on the evidence of this recording hers will be a name to look out for in the years to come."
Herald Scotland - "Glover, on soprano, and [Rudy] Royston go toe to toe in a marvellous sax-drums throwdown on The Nash."

"First Record" received 3.5 (out of 5) stars from Downbeat!
"In her impressive debut...Glover... carve[s] out a sound all her own while capturing certain Shorter-esque touches along the way. Her cool, probing sense of phrasing and conceptual breathing gives her solos distinction."

Here are some reviews of "First Record":
All About Jazz #1 - "If for some reason Portland-native Nicole Glover's First Record ended up being her only one, she would still have made a lasting impact on the jazz world." (4 1/2 stars)
All About Jazz #2- "First Record is more than an impressive debut. It is a genuinely notable record regardless of its creator's experience." (4 stars)
All About Jazz #3 - "Saxophonist Nicole Glover is seeking the same musical truths as newly-minted NEA Jazz Masters Archie Shepp and Pharaoh Sanders have been since JC left the building in 1967. She is doing so with a sonic freshness and artistic restraint not common in those trailblazers playing before her."
Midwest Record - "Killer stuff that just doesn't quit."
JP's Music Blog - "Nicole's tenor and George [Colligan]'s piano perform the perfect musical dance."
