Press Reviews "'Where There's Smoke...' shows no signs of the dreaded crossover between jazz and pop, or style overiding substance. Six of the disc's eight songs are oft-heard jazz standards, but the Berklee-educated played skillfully rearranges them in a way that brings new life to them in a very non-standard fashion. His two originals take a shot at funky blues, and the leader turns in some strong solos. Boni avoids imitation in favor of developing his own niche. *** out of ****." INPGH Weekly, Mike Shanley, Assistant Arts Editor"Scott Boni is a 23-year-old man brimming with musical chutzpah and nurturing a formidable talent as an alto saxophonist. I took in his CD, 'Where There's Smoke...', and there was fire!! Yes, he plays the 'J' word!!" Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, David Templeton
