"As a musician, Muhler has a very open harmonic sense, impressionist with lots of chromatic runs, but tinted with blue notes. At times his work is reminiscent of Jarrett in his rhythmic sense, with a wilder chromatic palette... Muhler is up to the beauty of the instrument he is playing."
"Sunny Muslin, one of the most absorbing Muhler pieces on the album, is a true exercise in tension building and suspense. Muhler slowly lets the music snowball and, at the height of the piece, the pianist plays some inspired McCoy Tyner-esque clusters that gnaw at your musical soul. While he certainly took his time building to a climax, Muhler is able to easily dissolve the tension, coax you into a comfort zone and then toy with the tension again as things gain steam and then die down to conclude this piece."
"Eric Muhler has rapidly re-established himself as one of the finest jazz pianists and composers in Northern California."
- Mark McLeod
"Eric Muhler displays a wonderful personal spirit while tipping his hat to McCoy Tyner. He also shows a sensitive ballad interpretation and touch, and his compositions are interesting and hip. I look forward to hearing more of Eric."
- Larry Vuckovich, Jazz pianist and composer
"Eric Muhler's new CD, Live at the Jazz School, presents a wide range of musical expressions from the introspective Goodbye to a Painted Lady to the McCoy Tyner-like Sand Castles. This CD is sure to be enjoyed by the listening audience that prefers contrasting moods in jazz. This recording demonstrates Eric's tremendous talents both as a pianist and as a composer."
- Bill Bell, The Jazz Professor, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Peralta Colleges
"Inventive and Swingin!"
- Eddie Marshall, Drum Great & Living Jazz Treasure of San Francisco
"Eric's CD, Other Worlds, recorded at Berkeley's Fantasy Studios, provides a window into the world of Eric's composition and performance. Always lyrical, often introspective, alternately spare and then abundant, the pieces bear resemblance to some of my favorite recordings of solo piano giants Keith Jarrett and Art Lande."
- Downtown Restaurant Jazz Club
"Pianist Muhler roams the keyboard demonstrating remarkable technique."
- Phil Elwood, SF Examiner
"Muhler's Spring Song was filled with all the hope and colors of that season."

Every time that we listen or write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... Something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... Something is healing all over...
