"It's true that you
are a great blues player, and the way you incorporate your bebop lines and what I
call 'church licks' in your blues playing is stellar. Great playing! You are a
blues master."

Laury
"This is a superb
example of the blues language at work in the hands of a true believer. You can
hear and feel Mark's transcendence and malleability of the language clearly as
he seamlessly marries the spirits and sounds of SRV, Kenny Burrell, BB King,
George Benson and Albert King (among others) to fashion a soulful and beautiful
statement. Kudos, Mr. Stefani. It leaves us hungering for more!"
- Wolf Marshall
"WOW! You have brought
back memories of the days when I used to hang at the local jazz and blues clubs. What
a super cool mood and sound your fingers portray through every measure. The organ
really compliments the whole feel and mood throughout the solo. The slides, bends,
and phrasing flow with such smooth intimacy. To my ears, nothing can match the easy
free feeling created in jazz/blues as when a B3 and blues guitar dance the same tune.
I love it!"
- Ron Wells
