Press Reviews RAVE REVIEWS for 'My Window' Bill Milkowski, writer for "Jazz Times" -"Imagine if the James Gang had a major jazz epiphany and came out of the woodshed charged with improvisational daring. That's what guitarist Ed Littman conjures up alongside drummer Danny Gottlieb and bassist Mark Egan on his hard-hitting debut, "My Window". He's got one foot solidly in the rock camp while bodly striding with the other into far more adventurous territory."Improvijazzation Nation" Magazine -"His guitar literally talks to you. This is the best guitar work I've heard in the Jazz arena in the last four years. Ed has nothing but his own style!"Charles Chapman, professor at Berklee College Of Music-"You're burning! Your CD sounds great"Charlie Banacos, world renowned Jazz educator -"I love your choice of material. You can't expect what coming next.... and it's great when you get there"
