Praise for Danny Lerman

“Lerman's saxophone takes center stage, presenting melodies while snappy drum beats, bass pulses and keyboard swirls back him up. He embellishes, builds each piece, and works in improvised fire...”—L.A. Jazz Scene

“Iif you're up for being spirited away by a global journey of jazz that at times is hard- driving, at others slow and sensuous, catch South Bend native Danny Lerman...." —Journal Gazette”

“Beautiful music man!"—Tony Bennett

“Lerman showed an enormous amount of energy and brilliance. A captive audience resounded enthusiastically to his showmanship."—Tsung Yeh, South Bend Symphony

“Exceptional material."—Richard Elliot

“Danny Lerman's debut gives the impression that he's shooting for a full musical autobiagraphy. As a result, the saxophonist's Danny's Island (Chartmaker) debut reveals an ocean of far-flung influences. By its end, “Danny's Island" proves the kind of eclectic project too few jazz artists dare to make”—Jonathan Widran, JAZZIZ
