-Don Heckman, The Los Angeles Times


'His densely harmonic reinventions of standards you thought you knew clearly shows a musical genius at work.'
-Eric Brace, Washington Post


'Beyond all that can be said about his masterful technique and his beauty of touch, it is the unpredictability that is central to his remarkable talent.'
