“Poignant, animated, challenging, experimental, kickin,’ ..And this is only how I felt as I heard the 1’st kick-off tune. …West coast jazz guitarist Rich Arnold displays a prodigious talent indeed….. All in all, a project delivered in the spirit of an extensive study in collective improvisation.”

“This man can play. His lines are crafted from the Jazz Guitar vernacular falling somewhere between Joe Pass and early George Benson, but with a distinct sound of his own. ……he shreds the fretboard in all directions with taste and style brought about by years of playing and listening.”
