Jessica Williams “One of the greatest jazz pianists I have ever heard...”
Ben Paterson “As soulful an electric pianist-organist as exists anywhere.”
Rick Mandyck “Mandyck is back playing tenor—clarion, powerful, thrilling tenor. His sound is commanding but never harsh even when he executes his signature intervals, leaping from lower register blasts to plaintive treble cries.”
Billy Mintz “[Mintz's solo performances are] a form of holy worship for many musicians and drummers. Forget what you know about the drums and solo drums. This is no boom-chakka-lakka affair. Mintz is painterly and understated in his singular approach to music.”
John Gunther “Gunther's music is pictorial without being simply picturesque. What is most immediately appealing about this music is its modesty... it's about small or simple pleasures, the joys of craft...”
Scott Neumann “(Neumann) seems to explode with the joy of playing, but never neglects the solid foundation.”
John McLean “No jazz musician in Chicago can more quickly electrify a tune or galvanize an audience ...”
Martin Budde “Budde isn't chasing trends or recreating bygone eras...he's standing on the shoulders of giants, but his gaze is firmly fixed on finding his own way.”
