Reviews
There’s so much good music coming out of New York lately that it can be somewhat overwhelming. That said, one can’t do better than this. ★★★★½
– Paul Olson, All About Jazz
The melodies and judicious use of space is detectable on almost every track, and is reinforced by the smart structural features and fresh-faced lyricism of Rathbun’s tunes. ★★★½
– Downbeat
An outstanding set that should appeal especially to fans of jazz guitar. ★★★½
– Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
