Press Reviews Noah Enelow Listen.com : "Strings and steel drums give Luttrell's mellow Latin Jazz jams a vintage Cocktail feel; his Mediterranean, flamenco-influenced pieces have a bit of Gipsy Kings influence. His straightforward melodies evoke classic jazz standards from the 1950s." NORTON Buffalo is regarded as one of the most versatile and talented harmonica players in the music business. In Rock, R & B, and Blues circles, as well as in New Age, Country and Jazz circles, he is widely acclaimed as the finest multigenre harmonica player of our time. BOBBY Black Today, as in the past, Bobby's talent and tastes have led him in many musical directions. He is a player with skill and poise, who cut his musical teeth playing western swing.
