"The music has a propulsive, swinging, lilting charm that is the hallmark of great chamber jazz. Johnny«s charts have an intricacy that can be thrilling, ever witty now and again, and that confirms a devout conviction that most of us share that, among its many enchantments, jazz can be beautiful."

—Charles Champlin, the longtime and now retired arts editor and columnist of the Los Angeles Times.
