Reviews:
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
– Alex Henderson, All-Music Guide“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️… a talent to be reckoned with… brilliant.”
– Robert Bragonier, Fifty-Second Street“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
– George Fendel, Jazzscene“Schwartz is cut from different weaves than other young men with their horns… Nothing on this outing is less than ear-grabbing. Schwartz’s debut CD is impressive.”
– Rapport Magazine“Schwartz shows his command of his tenor [and] distinguishes himself as a composer, arranger, and instrumentalist.”
-Sunsh Stein, Jazz Times
