QUOTES ABOUT THE CD

Here's what some master musicians have to say about Magical Spaces:

“Jeff Siegel's new CD, Magical Spaces, is a musical offering that emphasizes not only Jeff's fine drumming skills but displays his compositional talent as well."
- Jack DeJohnette

“Magical Spaces“ is the kind of CD that you want to listen to over and over. Jeff's musicality is incredible. He is so tasty as a percussionist and he has become a fine composer/arranger with a good melodic concept and harmonic depth. The group performance is remarkable. Francesca is growing in leaps and bounds. Erica is happening as well as Danton and Tim.
- Jimmy Heath

“ ............THANKS FOR:
    1. THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC.
    2. THE SOUND OF THE MUSICIANSHIP.
    3. THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC ON THE CD."
- Ron Carter
