Dan Adler may not be as well known as some, but his
extraordinary playing on this new CD is sure to change that.
Besides Dan’s glittering tone and precision, there are some
wonderful solos and great rapport and interplay with the other
members of this top-notch group: Grant Stewart, Richard
Samuels, Dmitri Kolesnik and Phil Stewart.
The four standards are all well known, and Dan’s
arrangements treat them with high regard. The six originals
are very inventive, and the title track is a clever take on 'All
The Things You Are.' Dan Adler shows off his considerable
technique with much taste and professionalism

I love Dan Adler’s new CD. He has such a nice sound
combined with a precise time feel and killer lines. It’s all there,
all the right stuff. I like the little twists in the arrangements, like
the odd chords floating around on 'Star Eyes' and the time
modulations on 'You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.' Super
Cool! I also love the catchy originals, especially the title track.
And Grant Stewart’s playing is so beautiful--a real classic
improviser. There is a lot of great music and great playing on
this CD by all involved. My hat’s off to Dan and the group. --

I enjoyed Dan Adler’s new CD. Great playing by Dan and the
group. I really love listening to Grant Stewart’s playing. He has
that full bodied authentic 'Newk' approach to his playing. He
knows it’s all in the sound and Time. --Jerry Bergonzi
Dan Adler has found a role in protecting the legacy of the
jazz guitar… He has a clean sound, Metheney-esque, with
the long lines and quick turns of his acknowledged influences,
Pat Martino and Joe Pass. --Steve Armour
