    Press Reviews
    Hey Skip -got your package. You're sounding really good, and that ("You've Changed") transcription is amazing!Andy Snitzer Warner Bros. Recording Artist, Top Session Player Hi Skip! Just one more compliment - you are one of the few players that I've heard around here that gets it... by that I mean - that which is really important in music. Most sax players just improvise, but you play solos with a message, astory, you're saying something special when you play. That's what it's all about but most people either don't get it or maybe don't have the spiritual giftthat you do. It's a pleasure to listen to you play.Ron KerberUniversity of the Arts Saxophone Dept. Chair & Recording Artist with Pieces of a Dream
