John Luciano - January 2008

Chris Geith, Timeless World: "Wow! ... This is a very tasteful release, full of expert musicianship. Timeless World, unlike a lot of the saccharine-laden smooth jazz which programmers and consultants seem to push on us, is full of substance." —Read the entire review on ContemporaryJazz.com

"The secret of Chris Geith's tremendous success ... immediately reveals by listening to [Timeless World's] 'Groove Detective.' Chris Geith has inhaled the groove with all notes. He has a feeling for seductive melodies and his piano performance shows elegance and ease. The horn background delivered by Scerbo and Davis is tight. —Read the entire review at smooth-jazz.de

Jeff Charney - 2004

"The sophomore release from guitarist Matt Marshak just blew me away. I was super impressed not only in Marshak's playing ability, but also in his compositions. Marshak's ideas are fresh, and non-predictable. For example for a guitarist to cover Eric Claptons "Wonderful Tonight" takes balls. But Marshak changes the arrangement all around so it's his own composition. Other smooth jazz artists should take note, that is the way to cover a song." —Read the entire article (200KB PDF)
