REVIEWS
“…This is a dose of high octane entertainment that leaves you smiling and feeling good. Well done.”
- Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“A clever take of Pat Metheny’s ‘Question and Answer’ and an mellow ‘I Have Dreamed’ display the leader’s melodic ideas, while his joyful heart is exposed on a fun and playful read of Thelonious Monk’s ‘Hackensack’.”
- George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
“This is an album that spotlights Litzie’s piano mastery”
- Dee Dee McNeil, Musical Memoirs
