"Calligraphy demonstrates Chisholm's ability to compose for and lead a small combo, just as Radioactive showcased his skills with a big band. He's still young and still studying (at the Eastman School of Music), but his artistry is already impressive. " -Bruce Lindsay | All About Jazz
"After the first half I already loved this record … but it is the last three songs that turn this from a really good album to one that amongst my favorites of 2011" -Michael Anderson | Gear Diary
"Chisholm yet again pulls together a fine pool of talent, combining both jazz beats with some rock riffs for an album that feels more improvised than planned, which is part of the charm."
"If you like Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Indie Rock, or if you just plain like really good music, then you need to check this out. I gotta say, this album is incredible."
"It’s really quite beautiful, and it’s a fascinating look at different facets of Chisholm’s source of creativity."
"Chisholm's ambition can't be faulted, and it is matched by that of his musicians, all of whom seem determined to reach out as far as they can" -Bruce Lindsay | All About Jazz
"repeated listenings have endeared me to the whole recording: there is some great improvisation and passionate interplay here as well as the intricate compositions." -Michael Anderson | Gear Diary
"Radioactive finds its sound somewhere between bebop and modal jazz, creating a vibe of dark cellar clubs clouded in smoke."
