"His range is extraordinary, and his on-stage presentation is at once commanding and full of charm. He is a talent of the first order."
Stephen L. Salyer, President American Public Radio
"His voice is his horn, and he can swing like Goodman, spin and spiral like Parker, or levitate like Coltrane."
Andrea Canter - JazzInkBlog
