DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE

"Kauflin's execution, his ability to ripple waves of notes from the keyboard flawlessly and evoke colorful meadows of sound is unequivocally superb"

NEW YORK TIMES

"Kauflin favors a clarity of touch and ideas. His writing is balanced, tempering post-bop tendencies with the assurances of the gospel church"

THE TIMES

"What separates Kauflin from the others is the soulfulness of his repertoire - this is a musician who wants to do more than make you admire his virtuosity"
