"Man, you can play..."
Wynton Marsalis
".... a corkscrewed concoction that goes down easy, combining a searcher's sensibility with influences from the exotica end of the jazz spectrum and a vigorous sense of fun. Au Coin has one ear cocked to the experimental aspects of his genre while making the music accessible to anybody marinated in late-20th-century pop culture -- a more difficult trick to pull off, without succumbing to total cliche, than it seems......"
Carl Wilson, the Globe and Mail
"...fragments of swing, bop, gospel and more..simple but catchy tracks..entertaining...."
Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star
"..... a wonderfully listenable ride......"
Dave Bidini, founding member of the Rheostatics and writer
"...a gifted improviser...compositions are striking in their singular blend of melodic line, adventurous harmony, counterpoint, structural coherence, rhythmic interest and orchestrating inventiveness..."
Glen Hall, Musician and organizer, 416 Toronto Creative Improvisers Festival
".......a talented, dedicated musician.....Immediately impressed by the originality of the writing and playing....."
Richard Underhill, Juno award-winning saxophonist and founding member of the Shuffle demons
'...one of Canada's best kept secrets......"
