Still one of my favourite jazz guitarists.

"Excellent album! Mark Whitfield is an amazing guitarist in the Wes Montgomery / George Benson tradition. His technique is flawless, his tone soft and clear and he's got a knack for spinning lyrical, bluesy lines that you can actually hum along to after a few listens.I'd be hard pressed to pick any highlights on this album, because I like all of the tunes. Bowery Blues is one of my faves, along with Washington Square Thoroughfare.His music draws heavily on the blues and although influences from Wes & Benson are apparent, he's still got a sound of his own.If you like Wes Montgomery's early recordings, or the bluesy stuff by Kenny Burrell, give this album a listen. You won't regret it."
His best work yet !!!!!!

"Mark's nickname is QuickPic. This project demonstrates why. Every song is a treat. FRankly I have been waiting for something to rival this CD. From my standpoint, his career and musci took a different direction after this project. it is so good it is a must own for any lover of the Wes Montgomery/George Benson type sound. With no disrespect intended, he takes it to the next level (Now if he could only sing as good or better than Benson, he would have the whole package)."
