In the entire history of jazz, only a handful of musicians have succeeded in achieving improvisational control of this demanding vehicle(valve trombone). Fahn seems to have all the requisites: a bronzed, burnished sound, technique and ideas to spare, with each note in the right place at the right instant, and a crisp attack that is peculiar to this instrument.—LEONARD FEATHER

"[Mike] Fahn's trombone work...is so good it deserves mention in the same breath as [Bob] Brookmeyer or [Bob] Enevoldsen."
David Badham, JAZZ JOURNAL

"[Mike] Fahn is the vanguard of a select group of young players who promise to expand the role of the trombone in contemporary jazz."
Chuck Berg, LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD "

...[Mike] Fahn's warm, wonderful virtuosity..."
Bob Brown, L.A. JAZZ SCENE

"I think he is one of the great new jazz trombone players."
Maynard Ferguson, DOWNBEAT
