"Thank you - the CD arrived today. It is lovely, and is wonderfully happy!"
-- (Margareth Melicharova, UK)
"I just wanted to send you another quick note of thanks for your music. I'm sitting here in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a lot of work to do, and the sky is unusually cloudy today. To
keep myself going, I put on your CDs and I've been whistling and stomping away for the past two
hours. (And getting my work done, too.) So I thought I'd stop and express my appreciation
again. These two CDs are among my most favorite. They're a rare collection of first-rate
performances with an unusually high standard of musical skill -- immeasurably better than the
folksy, amateurish ragtime being recorded here in the States. The recordings reflect a
good-natured appreciation without condescension to this still-great music. Again, thanks to you
and your musicians. They really help me get through the darker days."
-- (Jeff Nilsson, USA)
"I'm really impressed with your band. Your arrangements, to a non musician like myself, add a
great deal of appeal to the music. I know the formula for a rag has the multiple themes being
repeated several times. And sometimes that becomes boring or unappealing. That doesn't happen
with your music. Your arrangements and variety of instrumental groupings keeps and increases my
interest."
-- (Charley Carey, USA)
"I just want to let you know that as I type this I am hearing your early Hungarian jazz CD on
radio. Phyllis "Mama Jazz" Campbell has been playing your music, especially on her Tues night
show that she calls "Traditional Night". Hearing it makes me even more sorry that I didn't get
to see the band. And Mama thinks you are wonderful."
-- (Carol D. Emerich, USA)
"Just received your three wonderful CDs.....I'll be featuring all three on my radio program,
"Sacramento Classic Jazz" here in Sacramento, California on KXJZ, FM 88.9. The band sounds
great on the few cuts I've sampled thus far, and your self-duet on piano & violin is
outstanding.....as Sidney Bechet could have told you, doing it all yourself can be very
difficult and somewhat daunting, but you pulled it off beautifully."
-- (Nick Dragos, USA)
