“Stoltzman and the ensemble make exquisite music that goes beyond borders and defies categories.”
“THE MASK IN THE MIRROR balances man against woman, jazz against classical composition, and society against self in a rise of tension that resolves only with end of their relationship.”
“A blend of traditional harmony within a modernist style.”
“Arcadian Winds deliver top notch performances here, with plenty of precise power and deft fluidity to tell these stories with the utmost grace.”
“Each instrument, including the voice on several tracks, is realistically captured in a warm, lightly resonant environment.”
“THEN ELEPHANT SPEAKS shows us a glimpse of his vision and interesting interpretations of [Whitley’s] work, resulting in a compelling, unique listen of much grace.”
“A most impressive and very accessible recording, brimming with ideas executed with sophisticated precision.”
