WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“...an exuberant multi-hued astrological excursion combining elements of jazz and classical that deserves to be considered with the extended works of Ellington, Mingus, and George Russell.” - Boston Globe

"An excellent, overdue studio recording by the contemporary pianist and orchestra." - The Wall Street Journal
"Zodiac Suite is revealed as a joyous, enchanting creation." - The Guardian
