Details:
Dave Goldberg and Duane Allen play solid, bop influenced jazz the way it''s supposed to be done. Allen''s guitar shimmers with original chords and tasty single-note solos, somewhat in the style of jazz giant Jim Hall."
- Matt Schudel (Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel)
"Goldberg, displays a strong and assured tone and a maturity of style, rooted in swinging mainstream modern jazz.”
- Sid Gribetz (Jazz Times Magazine)
“Surreality is the antidote to smooth jazz…Highly recommended, this quartet’s latest album looks to the future of jazz without digging up the roots.”
- Jim Santella (LA Jazz Scene)
“They sound wonderful, I’m quite impressed. They’re growing faster than I can even imagine.”
- Ira Sullivan
"The Dave Goldberg Quartet is a very exciting young group not merely cranking out the same old lame old."
- Bob Weinberg (City Link Magazine)
"Goldberg''s tenor sound is full and rich; yet, he remains light throughout. With Allen''s sparkling guitar timbre they lend dramatic excitement coupled with a floating sensation that connects the dots."
- Jim Santella (LA Jazz Scene)
"Their contrasting approaches make for some compelling listening, bringing to mind the work of Joe Henderson and John Scofield or Dave Liebman and Pat Metheny."
- City Link Best of Awards 2001
"Goldberg''s tone throughout tends to be warm, and I''m especially stuck by his soprano tone on ballads like "Melakong." Allen''s voice is especially original - he doesn''t sound like any other guitarist I know. His solos are thoughtful, avoiding arpeggios as fillers and instead choosing notes and unusual chords with a deft sense for ensemble play. Both leaders deliver solos that demonstrate real shape."
- Michael Coyle (Cadence Magazine)
