  • "This is an eclectic mix of contemporary repertoire, played with both technical accomplishment and total commitment. The Scott-Garrison Duo has been performing together since 1988, and has long championed American music of the 20th and 21st centuries Overall, this is an ambitious, creative, well-performed and recorded disc Prior recordings by this duo have been enthusiastically received in Fanfare I am happy to join the fan club."

    – Henry Fogel, Fanfare

  • "Given the fine music in a rather wide variety of styles, and the superb, well-recorded performances these pieces receive, there is something for everyone on this CD, and everything for many. Accordingly, I am compelled to grant this CD a very high recommendation."
