"I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED SIL AUSTIN, AND SO GLAD I DID. MY TWO FAVORITE SAX ARTISTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EARL BOSTIC AND FREDDY GARDNER, NOW I HAVE A THIRD. SILS MELODIC PERFORMANCE OF MOSTLY STANDARDS IS SIMPLY GREAT. HE IS ACCOMPANIED BY A FULL ORCHESTRA AND VOICES BUT THEY NEVER INTRUDE ON HIS DOMINATE PERFORMANCES. THERE ARE JUST ENOUGH VARIATIONS IN RHYTHM AND OTHER NUANCES TO ADD A LITTLE INDIVIDUALITY TO EACH ARRANGEMENT.THE LINER NOTES ARE IN A LANGUAGE I DONT RECOGNIZE, BUT WHO CARES, ITS A GREAT CD!"

"I am pleased to find this music. It was difficult to find in 1963. That it is available in 2007 is impressive."
Great Sax Player

"I was so happy to find a cd of an Artist I remembeed from the early 70s
or late 60s. His version of Danny Boy reaches right into your very soul."
