Latest critical praise for the current CD Don't Slam That Door.

“Coney Island" sends you on a nostalgic trip, with it's brilliant cinematic performance, is the highlight of the album. Several re-fashioned standards, like the steamy and seductive R&B swing take on “Best is Yet To Come" and the elegant reading of “You've Changed" sit well next to the original material on this record." --Jazz Improv Magazine
