”The world needs to hear Fred Johnson’s music “ Chick Corea
“Johnson has been a mainstay on the scene, although more recently he has been in New York. To say this was a triumphant return would be a gross understatement. In addition, he was playing with one of the finest jazz quartets you’ll hear anywhere, led by bassist Michael Ross. And this is not an overstatement: this performance was simply “as good as it gets.” Scott Hopkins – Music Fest News
MICHAEL ROSS possesses one of the FATTEST acoustic bass sounds you’ll likely hear” All About Jazz
“Michael Ross is a bedrock melodist in much the same manner as Charlie Haden, possessing a dark, sustaining tone…, and his compositions are both thoughtful and swinging” Cadence
