A Few Kites was recently released on New Focus Recordings and so far has been called 'entrancing' by Alex Ross (The New Yorker, The Rest Is Noise), that it pushed the trumpet to 'realms of expressiveness not heard since Luciano Berio turned his attention to the instrument in 1984 for Sequenza X' by anearful, and that 'Kozar’s ability to mix virtuosic technique with new sounds and timbres creates a mesmerizing experience for the listener' by the International Trumpet Guild Journal.
