"This fresh-sounding CD is chock full of scintillating, smooth jazz tracks that slowly percolate from one’s speakers like melting honey.” - PJ Birosik - National Syndicated Reviewer

“…showcase Bach’s strong, highly-musical and emotional playing, seamlessly combining elements of contemporary jazz, piano and groove-oriented tunes with a passion often missing from contemporary instrumental music.”
