"...When you hear it on the subtly-simmering 'For Heaven's Sake' you know you're in the presence of a master improviser."

Brian Blain, Jazz UK review, February/March 2007 issue

"His solos tell a story. Their lines unfold with a natural flow, especially on the ballads 'For Heaven's Sake' and 'Portrait of Jenny'."
