Gary Smulyan

4 STARS DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE

4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

“Bari man Gary Smulyan, who plays with a husky yet never heavy, heart-felt tone, is in unusually fine form, ringing the bells of the changes while taking care to create pungent new melodies ... This is a sweet project, one that manages to dip into two nostalgias - pop melodies and “cool” arranging - yet still sound fresh and present. Nice work”. - Paul de Barros, Downbeat Magazine, April 2009.
