• "This CD is also a gloriously reflective, deep musical journey and I envy any man, woman or child about to embark on it.   Saturn's Child is your walk through a musical vibe, your very own prized possession and a great gift of music that draws from many aspirations.  These aspirations, these possibilities all come together beautifully with Joe Locke on vibraphone and Frank Kimbrough on piano.  There isn't a note played on this CD that doesn't spring from the reflective mindset that we cherish most ... the inner spirit that brings us peace and beauty, inspiration and truth.  Saturn's Child is thoughtful, compelling and yet entertaining, bringing us ever so close to the importance of our intuitive and creative spirits."—Paula Edelstein, JazzReview.com
