"Abadey is not a background drummer. He is upfront and expressive, aggressively pounding out a wide array of propulsive rhythms that ignites his group SUPERNOVA® into positive action." Frank Rubolino, Cadence Magazine "...Abadey's talent for giving lift to the melodies with buffeting rhythms and splashing cymbals. As a composer, he's also responsible for the strong spiritual current that runs through much of the album... "Mirage", a lot more satisfying than just a collection of illusory pleasures."
Mike Joyce, Washington Post "Nasar Abadey is a DC-based drummer with a wealth of experience who generally maintains one foot in the spiritualism of jazz and one foot in the hard bop camp. He brings a sensitivity and touch to the drums that have made him a valuable addition to all manner of touring soloists dipping their wings into the DC jazz scene."
Willard Jenkins, Arts Consultant / Journalist "Drawing influences from powerful drummers such as Tony Williams, Roy Haynes and Jack DeJohnette, Abadey knows how to swing hard, but not in a manner that's bombastic and obtrusive. Instead, he builds tension behind billowing solos, as on rolling "Brick by Brick" where he pushes Joe Ford's darting soprano saxophone to the upper limits.
John Murph, Jazz Times Magazine
