jerry katz | california, USA | 07/03/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"this pianist had few peers. lots of Monk and Powell. with

no imitation. mood changes every few bars. extreme expression

more than third stream. swings hard and atonal, but it takes

only a few notes and space to get into his lyricism -

Bess You is my Woman Now (check out the coda ending)."
MOVE OVER MONK
Peter A. Goodell | FLORIDA | 07/07/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"THIS ALBUM SHOWS DT'S INTENSE ORIGINALITY, E.G. IN "CRUTCH FOR A CRAB".

AS WITH MONK, WE HAVE A HIGHLY UNORTHODOX APPROACH WHICH, AT FIRST,

SOUNDS LIKE A CHILD BANGING ON PIANO KEYS, BUT WHEN THE COMPOSITON

TERMINATES, A POWERFUL MUSICAL TREASURE HAS EMERGED."
