“Best Jazz Albums of 2025: The Big Room represents Farnsworth’s ongoing effort to write a new chapter.”

—The New York Times
“★★★★★ Best Albums of 2025: The level of energy and excitement they generate would be dangerous in a crowded club. It’s how they turn up the heat while the velocity’s down that truly makes the album. The Big Room simply never lets up.”

—DownBeat
“The Big Room is Farnsworth’s best record as a bandleader so far.”

—Modern Drummer
“★★★★☆ Leader Farnsworth conducts from behind his kit, seamlessly controlling dynamics and delivering a handful of well-constructed solos. But it is the sense of adventure that permeates this release that takes it a cut above.”

– Financial Times
“★★★★★ Best Albums of 2025 So Far…”

– The Times (UK)
“Farnsworth’s poise and control…epitomize the tradition in all its technical and emotional growth.”
