" 'Hefti' [from the CD Curioso] makes you smile with its delicate riffs and uplifting swing." - DJ Jelly Roll Justice, WWOZ-FM, New Orleans, LA "A couple more discs like this...and his infectious, melodic writing and polished musicianship will surely start to win him a serious following." - Gary Dalkin, music writer and editor – Film Music on the Web "...the Hollywood impressions of Marc Hoffman's "Middle Earth" made some pieces on the program seem stale and derivative. - London Guardian review of U.K. premiere at the Wilde Festival write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
