WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING ABOUT RICHARD WHITEMAN

"His playing is defined by its depth and taste as much as its variety. He's every bit as good in a group context, where his capacity for melodic understatement and harmonic nuance finds full expression."
- Stuart Broomer, Toronto Life

"Pianist Richard Whiteman was all clean, tasty articulation with ideas that became more expansive at his afternoon show on the outdoor DuMaurier stage. … the quartet was in elegant form…"
- The Toronto Star (at The Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival)

"a fabulous mainstream approach, with great technique and ideas"
- Kitchener-Waterloo Record (at The Kitchener Waterloo JazzFest)

"accessible, melodic and charming"
- L.A. Jazz Scene

"a superb jazz trio…Pianist Richard Whiteman was thrillingly articulate as a soloist and softly supportive when accompanying"
- Stratford Beacon-Herald

"Smooth around the edges and sweet in the middle… Whiteman's originals go down easy with the right hand content to survey the lucid motifs with graceful inflection."
- The Jazz Report Online

"delectable tinkling"
- NOW Magazine

"The beautiful ballad Prelude To A Kiss is delicately interpreted with Whiteman fully aware of Ellington's sensitive melody and rich harmonic structure. Well done."
- Jazz Report

"All things considered, in a town filled with good piano players, Richard Whiteman is a musician's musician - one with an ear attuned to the delicate shadings and nuances required by demanding music."
- Metropolis
