Press Quotes

REVIEW BY SCOTT YANOW FROM FEB. 2009 ISSUE OF LA JAZZ SCENE:

“Pianist Chris Glik’s Tropical Jazz For The Soul, Vol. 2 is a fine example of easy listening jazz. The music grooves nicely, the improvising is melodic and the tones by the various players, especially tenor-saxophonist Dave Victorino (who hints a bit at Stan Getz), are West Coast cool and pleasing. Three standards are performed by Glik in a trio with bassist Larry Muradian and drummer Steve Sykes while his eight originals are interpreted in a quintet also including bassist Mike Flick, drummer Kenny Park, guitarist Lenny Coltun and Victorino on tenor and flute. The music ranges from hard bop to light fusion and, while no new paths are blazed, the results are quite accessible and very easy-to-take. It is available from www.glikmusic.com.”
