He uses his thumb to execute winningly lyrical lines made up of pillow-like notes... well worth exploring." - Cadence

"...warm, mellow guitar with gently flowing lines and occasional bursts of lush chords... Greg favors the use of his thumb to produce the rich sound he achieves... neatly pulsating lines, melodic, swinging and inventive. The music swings compulsively at all times... the leader's exotic sound and constantly inventive lines, the mainstream appeal of familiar material being given a refreshing twist, and a driving rhythmn section..." - Jazz Journal, England

"Enthusiasts will enjoy this album... relaxed groove, lovely trio settings, unusually bright post bebop style... and octaves are all handled authoritatively... a wonderful showcase for Chako." - Just Jazz Guitar, USA
