“The music is a distressing mix of spoken word, modern jazz, distorted electronic elements and hip hop.”

—VINYL REWIND

“White Noise is Burton's farthest-reaching offering to date, capturing his reckoning with veiled injustice through a musical revolution.”

—RELIX MAGAZINE

“★★★★… With his ambitious tapestry of jazz-plus musical and spoken word elements, keyboardist George Burton gamely breaks new ground.”

“Think of it as a modern day mashup of Max Roach, Sun Ra, Gil Scott Heron, The Last Poets, and to some extent Curtis Mayfield. Contemporary projects such as Dana Murray’s Negro Manifesto, D’Angelo’s Black Messiah, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly as well as projects from avant bluesman Fantastic Negrito come to mind as well.” —MAKING A SCENE

“George Burton shares a call for collective liberation and an invitation for self-transformation with his new album, ‘White Noise’.” —Matt Micucci, JAZZIZ

“‘WHITE NOISE’ is brimming with righteous ambition and productive tensions … a meditation on Black creative survival.” —Nate Chinen, WRTI
