“Pianist Randy Ingram has a lovely, sensitive keyboard touch, as evidenced on this moving tribute to pianist Bill Evans…. Randy didn’t make the mistake of trying to mirror Evans but instead has his feel and grace but weaves the songs his way. One of the very finest Bill Evans tribute albums.”
– Marc Myers, Jazzwax
“A contemporary jazz pianist at the top of his game playing some classic tunes with a trio that could not have a better pedigree. There is much to enjoy here. Ingram combines an imaginative approach to harmony with an innate sense of lyricism”.
– Robin Lyons, Jazz Journal
“Ingram honours [Evans’] deepest artistic values – honesty, lyricism and emotional truth – while speaking in a voice that is unmistakably his own. It is a magnificent achievement.”
— Mike Gates, UK Vibe
