De""ar Pekka,
" I would like to highly recommend Pekka Pylkkanen for your consideration. He is a world class improviser on the saxophone. His artistry had a big impact on me the first time I heard him. Pekka is able to play on a high level in many musical settings.. his compositional skills are personal and very unique... his understanding of music and his technical ability on the saxophone.. it is obvious that Pekka has spent a lifetime of hard work and dedication to have accomplished so much! "      Bob Sheppard, Saxophonist, Recording Artist, Professor at USC 
.."in closing, I would rank Mr. Pekka Pylkkanen, in the top five percent of musician/educators I have encountered throughout my twenty plus years of performing and teaching." Dr. Michael J. Rossi, Professor, Jazz Artist, University of Cape Town
"The music on this CD is simply great, and I am very happy to see and hear that Pekka has grown into the musician that he is today. He’s created compositions with an elegant complexity that showcases his saxophone playing in a unique and personal way. "
