“Invigorating and graceful playing, unpredictable and fascinating compositions... Abbasi is a rarity." Jazziz

“Snake Charmer is, quite simply, a breakthrough record, with all its elements on clear display yet perfectly assimilated." Allaboutjazz.com

“As jazz increasingly admits sounds from around the globe, Abbasi's efforts rank among the freshest and most compelling. Compositions that stand alone in today's jazz." The Ottawa Citizen
