Press Reviews "Their latest CD, Center of the World, is a delicious interplay of swing groove, and lyricism and features all original compositions....(they) craft a sound and feel that can be directly traced to the work of the legendary Sonny Rollins/Jim Hall quartet." -Lenny Young, THE PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER"Moritz is a warm toned tenor saxophonist with a story telling gift and partner Daniel Marcus, is graceful yarn spinner himself ...embellishing with gentle phrases. An album worth every minute of your time." -Russell Arthur Roberts, LA JAZZ SCENE
