Dawn Clement “Clear, assured, nimble, and muscular articulation - in the manner of a Phineas Newborn Jr. - is matched to some of the varieties of thought and feeling that he, too, submerged just below the surface of fresh styling.”
The StradBand “...superb. Stradling is a composer of unusual and original melodies and arrangements that are thoughtful, intelligent, and emotive.”
Joe Locke “He mastered an instrument that has catapulted only a handful of players to the forefront of modern jazz - but he has also done it in a way that transcends mere technique and establishes him as a unique and adventurous musical voice.”
Paul Hofmann “The two are so relaxed together, so in each other's pocket that they make the most convoluted motifs sound effortless ...”
Michael Bisio “His playing appears to be produced by sorcery.”
Sonando “Sonando is a brilliant accomplishment that will easily captivate jazz fans and Latin music aficionados alike.”
Greta Matassa “Purists might argue there will never be another Ella or Billie. These cats have obviously never heard Greta Matassa!”
Laurie Antonioli “It is not hyperbole to say that Laurie Antonioli is emerging as the most important vocalist, let alone jazz vocalist, this decade. Let us hope for much more music from this brilliant constellation in the west.”
