MEDIA and REVIEWS from the Press, various endorsements and more!
“…when you hear trombonist John Kachnowski cut loose on a rocking solo or a mellower full-bodied melodic phrase you’ll quickly experience the tremendous range and remarkable depth of this titan of the brass section. ”
Eric Harabadian - Detroit Live Magazine
"...a GREAT writer of words. He also writes in a very freeform style... I love John's writing style...I go over to his page one day and here this INSANE stuff! ...I wrote him back that day and told him I LOVED the stuff...the best part about it is the musicianship is really great."
Jason Scheff, Lead Vocals & Bass for the band CHICAGO
"John Kachnowski That was amazing!! :) I loved those horn parts!! :)"
John Popper, Lead Vocals, Guitar and harmonica for the band Blues Traveler
"John...a monster player/arranger/writer and always a gracious guy."
DaWayne Bailey, Guitar for Bob Seger and Chicago
““Five finger discount” kicks off with a fast punky/Ska number “trailer park girl” this is an excellent track the verse is fast paced Ska pierced with a horn line that sticks in your head, whereas the chorus is a trashy punk ‘n’ sax blast with shouty vocals. ”
SKAFace - SKAFace CD Reviews
“melodic skacore sound..shakes up the musical moods..jazzy brass vying with hard rock..It's a potent brew, especially as the emphasis always remains on the band's powerful melodies and exuberant delivery. The arrangements are equally strong”
Jo-Ann Greene - All Music Guide
“i 've looked for five finger discount for the longest time. when i finally got it i nearly lost my mind. i especially agree with their messages..you just read the lyrics you'd understand what they mean and totaly agree with it..definitely check this out, it'll blow your mind! ”

“National Ghost is a very enjoyable listen and runs across several musical boundaries. There's something here for most everyone!”
Wildys World - Wildys World
“Detroit jam group combines ghosts from various veteran local bands to create something that's vital and new. This eponymous debut scales new heights with a mixed bag of rock and pop styles that are at once unique..notable songs include..the goofy childlike fun of Ice Cream Head”
Eric Harabadian - Metro Times
THE BUZZ ON JK's NEW SOLO CD: SQUEEZE! a few recent reviews from Amazon.com
"...What a delicious combination of horns and vocals. I like the variety of themes and styles in each piece."
-5.0 out of 5 stars Jackie (Orlando, FL)
"WOW......i truly thought i was hearing some new Zappa material."
-5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Freak (USA)
"...a gift for melody -- as evidenced by his horn lines -- but, lyrically, he's got a lot to say, too, and he says it with wit and passion."
- 5.0 out of 5 stars Jeff (Michigan)
"...for starters, the guy can write. (and write and write) I haven't even digested all the lyrics yet, but that alone will keep me coming back for more listens. Musically this is ska, funk and alter-pop all mixed up. ..His horn swells and mixes are fun, fabulous and very present in each tune."
-5.0 out of 5 stars Indie Music Lover (USA)
"...This album is different. There is a little something about it that just hooks you..."
