Marc Copland

3 1/2 STARS PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ

"Copland's playing demonstrates an obscure sense of romanticism; nowhere near as obvious as many of his sources, he has been developing a style that is harmonically imaginative yet completely engaging and soothing to the ear ... Round and Round is another fine recording from a pianist who is gradually developing a reputation but has yet to make the leap into more broad exposure. Clearly, on the strength of this recording, Copland deserves a larger audience. Surely, with beautifully recorded albums such as this that demonstrate a consistent yet evolving conception, and an outstanding ability to work with a rich variety of artists like Osby, the time will come when Copland is recognized as the artist of consequence that he truly is."

- "Impressive performances that stay with the listener ... a wonderful recording." - Jazz Review
- "Disc of excitement ... a set free of stylistic clichés, that never seems to stop searching for - and finding - itself." - Jazz Magazine
