  • Drye's ..." the primary soloist, of course, and rises to the occasion with poised playing that exudes confidence and control. His expressions are thoughtfully articulated and shaped, his tone warm, and his delivery smooth and soulful."

    LA Jazz scene

  • "Drye upholds the venerable soloist-with-strings tradition established by Parker, Brown, Ben Webster, Stan Getz, and others with this superb offering. His soloing's high-calibre throughout, and Raz's artful orchestration supports the trumpeter magnificently."
