"This is smart jazz that does not brag or indulge in over composition or arrangement, meaning it is very listenable and enjoyable."

C. Michael Bailey, AllAboutJazz.com

"Swift Kick (DClef Records) is his debut as a bandleader and shows a wide-ranging set of influences but always with the "beat" and the melody at the center."

Richard Kamins, Steptempest.blogspot.com

"A hard hitting, front rank date that will open jazzbo ears in need of a new kick...Killer stuff sure to top all those year end/best of lists."

Chris Spector, Midwest Record

“His maiden voyage as a band leader is well recorded, the arrangements are solid, and his guests artists elevate this CD to a high level. Well done….”
