about

"…the Waller magic emerges. It’s joyous, foot-tapping music throughout."
- Jazz Canadiana

"I can't think of anybody who's better than Ralph Sutton."
- Bing Crosby

"Ralph Sutton is without a doubt the greatest exponent today of the two hands and ten fingers style of jazz piano playing ... undoubtedly one of the best pianists in jazz today ... he swings ... tremendous personal beat and drive ... Andre Previn once referred to Sutton as one of the few jazz pianists who had complete mastery of his instrument. Sutton plays with both hands and ten fingers, a full harmonic sense and a delightful wit in his solos. He can swing a band, too."
- Ralph Gleason, San Francisco Chronicle

"He's probably the strongest two-handed pianist I've ever heard."
- Yank Lawson

"… he's just sensational as a soloist."
- Peanuts Hucko

"He's a complete musician - even plays Chopin, Brahms, and Bach beautifully."
- Teddy Wilson

"I'm glad to have passed through this life - just to have met Ralph Sutton."
- Milt Hinton
