”Al Molina's album, “Straight From The Heart”, is exactly That...........so lyrical,sensitive to the point of being “fragile” yet on fire throughout. It's been a long time since I've heard such pretty, honest music released, seemingly unaffected by all of the heavy industry marketing currently going on. I hope the entire world gets to hear this beautful album .....” Bobby Shew
“One of the most lyrical,tasteful and melodic trumpet players on the jazz scene today” ........LarryVuckovich:
”The Gift “ CD 1002 Jazzer Records ”As a jazz expression, it is a positive experience
