Press reviews

"When Sonny Stitt came on the scene his fabulous technique really excited me." -

—Booker Ervin

"I spent some inspiring evenings hanging out with Charles Kynard, the great organ player, who actually had left KC some years before but used to come back occasionally. He was one of the best organ players I ever got to play with."

—Pat Metheny, 1995
