The Bohemians heads the list in "17 local bands you ought to know about"...Their sound is truly the kind of avant-guarde, ultracool acoustic jazz music folks like to hear in New York City nighclubs. St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Think 'cool jazz' or think 'house band in small west European café but with an American singer." - Kevin Renick, Noisy Paper
"Bob Bailey's band of Bohemians is well worth hunting down." - Darren Tracy, Flush Magazine
"Don't miss your chance to savor the Bohemians' considerable pleasures" - René Saller, Riverfront Times
The Bohemians released their second CD, Something Like This, to acclaimed reviews!
—Here are some of the things that have been said of their CD's—
"Some music is timeless because it is pleasurable to listen to again and again. The music of this jazzy pop cabaret unit with the singing of Bob Bailey is that kind of music." - Nat Hentoff, noted jazz critic, CD liner notes"One of the most unique local recordings of the year ... and they created a masterpiece!" - Matt Davis, St. Louis Musicians Guide and Directory
"The early praise the Bohemians are receiving is well deserved. Clearly onto something different - a cool jazzy coctail that's all their own.” - Kevin Johnson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Like a snifter of Courvoisier, it goes down smooth, warm and pleasant but still packs a powerful kick. This isn't languorous swoon and swing for the ironic young neo-lounge hepster set; it's passionate, well-executed and uniquely moving.” - René Saller, Riverfront Times
