“Christopher Dean Sullivan makes a strong case for his essential presence in the ensemble with, yes,
some ostinatos but also with an openly free interactive melodic sense that goes perfectly well with the wide-ranging ideas expressed by his bandmates.”
~ Grego Applegate Edwards, Gapplegate Music Review

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mala Waldron:
“Her voice and delivery have an earnestness and sincerity,
while her touch on piano is confident ... Impressive.” - George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly,

***************
Jay Hoggard:
“Jay Hoggard has long ranked with the greatest vibraphone innovators.
Jay’s music is positive, spiritual, uplifting, and happy.
He masterfully draws on traditional and contemporary musical vocabulary to develop new directions for the vibraphone.” – ALL About Jazz
***************

multi-Grammy nominee drummer Bobby Sanabria:
“Bobby Sanabria is equally adept at the swinging big band sounds of drummers Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson
along with another boyhood hero, fusion pioneer Billy Cobham and timbale titan Tito Puente.” – Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times
***************
*
“An extra twist is that this new music is largely acoustic rather than electro-acoustic and the richness of the textures,
especially Sullivan’s swooning double bass, is such that the music doesn’t feel at all flimsy.”
~ Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise (UK)

The song soon became a hit, with Leo Reisman and His Orchestra's 1932 recording being the first to reach the charts.

It is the most popular of Schwartz and Dietz's collaborations and has become a jazz standard.

The first jazz artist to record the song was Artie Shaw in 1939.
