‘Green’s piano provided some real interaction with the vocals, sometimes prodding, sometimes holding back, and often inserting deft little phrases that decorated the lyrics with taste and sensitivity.’
Alyn Shipton, The Times
“That Green possesses such wide ranging interests will surprise no-one who has caught him with the various band leaders to whose groups he contributes his sparkling but cogent piano work”
Chris Parker,Vortex
“…the trio tracks show off Green’s virtuosity. His work can be both intricate and assertive, and is constantly inventive. A CD which generously repays repeated listening”
Pete Martin, Jazz UK
“…the one who really shone was pianist Barry Green. Watching his imagination unfurl, was an engaging experience and turned out to be the keenest musical pleasure of the evening”
