  • Brian Garten - GRAMMY Award-winning Mix Engineer (Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber, Rolling Stones)
    “I really enjoyed it, [Jensen’s “For Alice”]…very complex but still super musical and a great mix too!
  • Canadian Choral Journal - Anacrusis
    “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.
  • Andrea Warren Musicworks Magazine
    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.
