His past album More Money quote from Revue Magazine November 2008 -Michael Loffelman

​

"Classify this album under "meaty, invigorating jazz-infused rock." More Money features some great interaction among Grand Rapids' best local talent on saxophones, bass, and percussion in particular.  Guitar, flute, and vocals flesh out the already strong performances. 

Tracks are hook and groove-laden from beginning to end.  Saxophones are often the driving force, and whether it's an extended solo or simple flourish they remain prominent throughout.

Sax is smooth on the opener "Feeling Numb", which has enough funky pep to herald the following "More Money", where the solos take off.

Shifting with a grungy, heavy push on "Dream Girl", (Track 3) which is a swanky tune about a movie starlet. "Let me in", is a soft ballad and a welcome breather it's the one song you can slow dance to.

The album finishes strong with the deep grooves of the rowdy "Come to Daddy", where playful songs from previous tracks turn naughty.   The whole album is pretty sexy overall -
