"If Jimmy Cleveland can be labeled a super J.J. Johnson, then Neumeister should be coined a ultra-Carl Fontana. For raw ability, speed, agility, and range, he is virtually unmatched, lifting the trombone to a new level. Neumeister is known variously for his marvelous muted effects in the Duke Ellington Orchestra, his unrecorded free jazz performances with Don Byron, Tom Cora and others, and his classical music technique, all of which have gained him the respect of professional musicians."
