From American Record Guide (October 1999): “A delightful disc. Clipper Erickson’s playing has a winning vitality and exuberance. Even the one chestnut, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, sounds fresh and youthful. The sound is thoroughly realistic.”
From Camden Courier-Post (Jan. 22, 1999): “Erickson performs this wide-rnaging program with technical aplomb [and] crafts polished interpretations. DTR captures Erickson’s playing in clear sound.”
From Philadelphia City Paper (Feb 12-18, 1999): “Philadelphia pianist Clipper Erickson plays all of this music superbly, clam and caressing when called for, and explosive and brilliantly virtuosic by turn. The recording, as usual from this South Jersey label, is vibrant and realistic.”
