Press Reviews "I've been listening to Jazz on the Montreal scene since 1947, and I must say that it's been a long time since I've been so impressed with anyone on first hearing....." Len Dobbin - Montreal Gazette & CBC Radio"You've never heard anything quite like them. Not in a bar,at a private cocktail party, or any of the other venues they play regularly. And when you do have the opportunity to see and hear The Royz Band, they aren't easily forgotten." Susan Willis, NOW Magazine
