These are positive settings, Rick Holland wouldn’t have it any other way. His tastes are conservative, pure and simple and he’s unafraid to admit it. He is a master of his instrument and dedicated to the bop tradition.
Coda Magazine
Rick is deserved to gain some well deserved national recognition. An impressive trumpeter who is on the verge of good things.
Mike Metheny, JAM Magazine
Holland brings a buttery tone and an intimate feel to his music, which shows him off beautifully in his fine quartet. All in all, a beautifully played disc.
Robert Spencer, Cadence Magazine
Rick Holland is an impressive musical talent that is well worth a second listening. He shows great maturity, warmth of tone and great command of his instrument.
Mitch Genova, Detroit Jazz
Holland’s performances contain superb renditions of classic standards. His flugel work is perfect. This is a Wonderful CD. (You’d Be So nice To Come Home To)
