"When I listened to Tom Alonso's jazz musings on THE LONG WAY HOME, I was reminded of an intricate Gershwinesque feel to the music in this outstanding collection of 7 selections. Each selection is long, pleasing, intricate, and backed with a symphonic approach that highlights the solo performances. If you want something creative while at the same time excellent contemporary jazz in a symphonic mode with a touch of swing, this CD collection will be a highly enjoyable addition to your jazz library. Excellent performances abound! Selections include "The Long Way Home," "Lullaby and Blues," "Shoebooty," among other nice compositions. Excellent production values. For a change of pace, purchase a copy of THE LONG WAY HOME, for it has something to enjoy for everybody who enjoys the motifs of jazz in a contemporary setting. A winner! Reviewed by: Lee Prosser"
What a find!

"Each song is more witty and rich than the last. Everybody and her brother plays on this CD-what a colaboration. Alonso's writing is truely original and inspireing. David's superb sax is the thread that leads you through this most emotional journey. A definite top five in my collection."
