Rob Mullins is a diverse keyboardist capable of both crossover and bop.

One cannot help but be impressed by this music. The musicianship is top-notch, the performances unpredictable and full of surprises, and Eric Starr's writing is consistently inventive.

"The Hallmark Sessions" is an extraordinary release. Breau plays beautiful chords (sounding a little like Johnny Smith in spots) and inventive single-note lines. It is remarkable that this music was not released until 2003, but a happy event that it was finally put out. This is a must for Breau fans and an important release for all jazz guitar lovers.

Akiko Tsuruga ranks as one of the top organists around today.

Chris Washburne is a superior hard bop player.

A fluent trumpeter with a bright tone and a forward-looking style.
