“The most beautiful music I have ever heard on harmonica.” Lee Konitz
“If there's such a thing as casual sophistication, Yvonnick Prené has it in spades. That aspect of this chromatic harmonica pro's playing has shown itself to varying degrees across his discography and it's highly pronounced in these gorgeous and intimate duo performances with pianist Geoffrey Keezer.” All About Jazz, Dan Bilawsky
