"One listen to this CD should dissolve any concern about the future of "mainstream jazz guitar'. There is highly innovative, melodic, swinging (not to mention jaw-dropping/forehead slapping) arrangements/playing on every track. The Concord Jazz Guitar Collective is a brilliant release - a twelve on a scale of ten and mandatory for any serious guitar fan."
Jim Hillman, VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE (Feb 1996)

"This is an essential purchase for anyone interested in jazz guitar, particularly within guitar groups and aggregates. The unison work and interplay is simply scintillating...To anyone not fortunate enough to have been present at live gigs which this trio performed in the USA (e.g. "Yoshi's" in Oakland CA, etc.) then this CD is a testimony to the consummate skills and abilities, both individual and combined, of this guitar trio. To those present, it must surely be a marvellous souvenir of the occasion."
George Martin, STRING JAZZ (Jan 1996)
