Jason does the best kind of PR possible. Being a musician himself, he knows how to listen, he knows how to ask the right questions to bring the artist's vision into focus, and he has no agenda other than serving the music as it is. It was a great experience working with him on my 2017 Clean Feed release, Nerve Dance. Highly recommended if you are looking for somebody to help deliver your music to the world, distortion-free.”

“Red Cat Publicity's Jason Byrne's experience in, and knowledge and understanding of, the jazz world - and its inner workings of the many roles we all ‘play’ to bring this music and its dedicated practitioners to the public's eyes and ears - separates him with but a handful of other modern jazz publicists from the rest of today's growing herd of those also in the jazz publicity field. He also shows a high level of respect for musicians, and maintains a strong standard for the clientele he works with and their music, something that is very admirable and rare in a day and age when many publicists will take on most any job, regardless of quality.”
– Laurence Donohue-Greene, The NYC Jazz Record

“What a joy to work with a publicist who is practically as passionate about my music as I am myself and who has a musician's ears! Jason's positive vibe, enthusiasm, expertise, integrity, and diligence went above-and-beyond to provide the media support I needed for a successful national tour and CD release. A great team player who coordinated beautifully with my agent, record label, and radio promoter to ensure nothing fell through the cracks. You know you've got the right person when the journalist interviewing you compliments your publicist!”
