"Wonderful. Beautiful. Really great. Wow, Mike. Great writing, man."
-- Chick Corea.
"Way cool! Great band too! You play great man."

"Mike offers melodic breadth with very defined piano craft. He is an astonishing musician and a brilliant composer. His original works are studies in precision. They are demanding and they require the very best of musicians to perform them. He has gathered the best of the best and the results are scintillating."
