“In a time where there are those who are trying to cling to what works, there are those who continue to reach for the stars! Lannie's not one of those artists that puts out music for the sake of selling records, but for his passion, dedication and respect for the art (especially Latin Music) and of course, Latin Jazz.”
Al Santana, Former DJ/Radio Host for WSJT FM, Tampa, Florida
“Lannie gives us a fresh CD, with clear harmonies and Caribbean taste. It is a return to lyricism. This music may not be new, but it is necessary.”
