“He struck me as an especially versatile and flexible musician whose vocal capabilities and profound understanding of music are complemented by his ability to interact with the members of the performing band or ensemble. He also had impressive improvisational skills.
I believe he is talented, and I don’t say that easily. I think he has a bright future and would recommend him for the help he requires in order to pursue his career.”
