"Tate has a smooth, nice tone & his playing makes him someone to keep an eye on." Gary Nelson, Jazzreview.com

"Smooth jazz that melts the butter on the uneaten corn."
Ben Ohmart, Musicdish.com

"Tate's jazz is among the smoothest. Profoundly influenced by '70's Quiet Storm music & the seductive, throaty growl of Grover Washington Jr. He takes listeners on a journey into a world where all bed sheets are made of satin, and there is never a shortage of red wine."
Noah E., listen.com
