QUOTES FROM REVIEWS OF MOSAIC AND PUZZLE IN SOUNDBOARD MAGAZINE VOL. XXXIV, NO. 3


“The Georgia Guitar Quartet (GGQ) is a quite extraordinary group….”
“…not one but two marvelous discs….”


“[Mosaic is] an album which gives the listener a complete musical experience.”
“Jason Solomon’s Five Character Pieces is wonderful, including the fabulously demented “Last Waltz of the Phonograph,” whose ending will be familiar to those with a recollection of the “joys” of the black vinyl disc.”


“…it is very welcome to add [Alberto Ginastera’s] Danzas argentinas to the repertoire in this expert transcription by GGQ member Phil Snyder.”


“[Mosaic] will go in my longtime quartet playlist.”


“The sounds [in Puzzle] range from very abstract modernism to minimalistic patterns – from noisy non-traditional timbres to folk-like beauty.”


“…quite a display of wide-ranging talent.”


“Mosaic should be a part of every ensemble lover’s library, and Puzzle should be acquired by the strong and adventurous of heart!”
