- Nate Chinen, NY Times
"Adam Rogers could conquer the world. He displays Herculean chops to complement a strong compositional pen."
- Mark Turner, All About Jazz
"In terms of melodic and rhythmic clarity, Rogers has few peers on the instrument, but his staggering technique is matched by musical sensitivity..."
- David Adler, Jazz Times
