”The very clever pianist looked like he was going to break through a few years ago. Never did. That doesn't mean
his skills
aren't sizable or his imagination's lacking. He's a thinker with a sensitive touch”. Jim Macnie, Village Voice
“Rod Williams is one of the many musicians in New York who toil in the background, but shouldn't. Mr. Williams
deserves to
be heard in his own context more often”. Peter Watrous, New York Times
