"Just good pure jazz" "This album is required listening for anyone who calls themselves a jazz listener. Each composition has a fresh and contemporary sound. Just good pure jazz."
- Attila Roeckl
"It's about time the jazz world found out about Neal" "It's high time that the jazz world found out about this major talent. Neal's been a fixture as a top guitarist in the Chicago jazz scene for years. On this, his debut CD as a leader, he showcases his considerable technique and taste on a wide range of cover songs with unique arrangements and his own tunes. His creativity as a composer is delightful. This is an excellent CD. Neal's not going to be a secret for too much longer - he's featured on Patricia Barber's new CD, Verse, my own CD and other CDs as well. if you like jazz guitar, you'll like this!"
- John Temmerman
