"the remarkable pianist, David Haney" Robert Rusch, Cadence Jazz Records
"Mr. Haney is a pianist drawn to experimental settings, and he creates
a promising one here." The New York Times
"It's about excursions in sound as much as it is playing tunes.

Pianist Haney reaches inside and plucks his strings when inspiration
strikes." The Village Voice
"At times, Haney's dexterity can sound like piano for four hands, or
more accurately music for piano and percussion, though never in
overwhelming fashion; he frequently takes momentary pauses like a
saxophonist's breath connecting short runs of notes." Laurence
Donohue-Greene, All About Jazz, New York
