“Now here’s something refreshing – the first album from a young man with such a bright, open, optimistic outlook, which carries through to his music. The tunes are all originals by David, and are all very accessible. And the arrangements – essentially for piano and rhythm, with flute, guitar and vibes on some tracks, provide a solid framework for the pieces, with rollicking rhythms and sparkling colors.” — Michael Gibbs – Composer, Arranger Producer (from the liner notes on David’s album Mad Shadows)
