“This past month, I have had a love affair with Canadian composer, Aaron Jensen’s new Centrediscs album, ‘From Sea to Sea’….Gorgeous, pitch perfect, beautiful relaxed vocal production, and effortless intonation. This recording is stellar….I often wonder what the future of choral music is; this album answers that question, recognizing and honouring our choral traditions while boldly and successfully experimenting in contemporary music and the avant garde.”
Valerie Kolko – RARB (Recorded A Cappella Review Board)

Insanely creative and ORIGINAL .… Jensen expresses a new sophistication in vocal jazz.
Heather Bambrick — JazzFM Toronto .

Our hero, Toronto-local Aaron Jensen — I can honestly say this, [he’s] one the most phenomenally talented individuals I have ever met.

Aaron Jensen’s compositions are innovative and beautiful. His career as a professional singer has made him an adept vocal writer; his choral compositions make use of full spectrums of vocal colour, and his text settings are thoughtful, whimsical, and always clever. The breadth of his experience is noteworthy, and the consistency of his successes, impressive.
Mouth-Off Radio

All the arrangements are great, but Aaron Jensen’s ‘On the Street Where You Live’ rises to another level entirely…Jensen’s originals are also great. ‘Good Love’ is a particular standout.
Rebecca Chrisite — RARB - RE Jensen's piece 'Oblong'.

Possibly the best composition I’ve heard in nearly 15 years of following the scene.
Canadian composer/professor, David Lidov

“…of the highest standard! O.E.D. is a very good show — stimulating, psychologically complex and intelligent.”
Notations Magazine - Summer 2015

Jensen has an incredible ability to create layers within his pieces…Ingenious.

“[Aaron]…opened our eyes to our potential and to the vocal palettes we could use together. He touched on so many things – internalizing rhythm, maintaining focus, manipulating sound, jumping off the page and into music together…”
