Press Quotes
'Saxophonist Steve Heckman has absorbed bits and pieces of many masters ...a matte finish take on Sonny Rollins, a fondness for Zoot Sims, and a hint of Coleman Hawkins merge with the Trane influence to create something altogether different, yet totally traditional. Heckman's music is ...built in the image of those who came before him, but his blend-born sound belongs to no one else...the soul and sound of a true saxophone sophisticate.'
—Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
'Heckman's improvisational technique is exceptional, yet the melody and sense of swing are never lost. The influence of Coltrane looms large here...(he) pays homage to, and expands upon the Coltrane musical tradition.
—Jim Clark, 'Jazz Nightly' NPR
