I just received
your new CD, Jones for Elvin about four hours ago. I really
enjoyed listening to it. You can be assured that beginning with my show
tonight, your CD will get plenty of airplay in metro Detroit. - Ed
Love, WDET, Detroit, MI
All I can say is
that there has been nothing but a positive response to the Jones
For Elvin record since we began playing it here in Central New
York about a month ago. I'm glad to see it has caught on in other parts
of the country as well. - Eric Cohen, WAER, Syracuse, NY
Radio play here
is starting tomorrow, with Flora and Sentimental Mood (beautifully done!).
The compositions are good, and I enjoy your tenor playing and tone.
There is no doubt that there is a master drummer on the date- wow! How
a master can really contribute to the music and not just the rhythm,
is demonstrated convincingly by Elvin. - Jack Simpson, WFIT-FM and
WUCF-FM, Cocoa, FL
The record is good,
and appreciated by WEMU hosts as you can tell. (Number 10 on playlist
for November) - Linda Yohn, WEMU, Ypsilanti, MI
I'm impressed with
your compositions and with the group's playing. I'm using "Jay's Maze"
on this weekend's show, and will certainly be using more from the disc
in coming weeks. - John Simna, WCLV, Cleveland, OH
I really like it
and have been playing it regularly. It's in "heavy rotation" at KBCS
and will stay there for a couple months. - Gordon Todd, KBCS, Bellevue,
WA
Your CD is in rotation.
Thanks for the music. - Nick Morrison, KPLU, Tacoma, WA
