Press Reviews "Mr. Wolfe plays long, sweeping lines that have the dancing energy of Sonny Stitts approach... perhaps one of the most important musicians to emerge in the last 40 years." John S. Wilson, New York Times "Steve Wolfe is a musician of uncommon resources. A composer-arranger, he plays authoritative, deeply swinging tenor.. also a flautist, pianist, oboist and an authentic leader, Steve Wolfe is a protean musician whose music is fresh, evocative and lyrically penetrating." Nat Hentoff
