"There’s always a giddy sense of excitement when we discover a phenomenal new artist, predict big things and watch and listen as that hopeful prediction is fulfilled.”" ~Jonathan Widran
"Cherry Pops is without doubt the musician at his very best, and a huge hit must also be the concluding mark on the cards" ~One World Music
""Movin’ On" is right in line with the blazing material he has so far; songs like the funky "Ponderosa" and the cooler, laid-back "Majorca." But, with "Movin’ On," the pace is strong, and his notes set the story in motion. His horn has an assertive bop, a definite rhythmic statement and he’s got the skill to imbue deep melody anywhere his tenor goes." ~Debbie Burke – jazz author
