HARMONIA MUNDI JAZZ (France): An extraordinary pianist, of exceptional dimension…an absolute discovery. Denny Zeitlin is a veritable genius…”

BILLBOARD: “[Critic’s Choice: Highly Recommended]…the ravenous rhythms of ‘Blues On The Side’…the infectious changes of ‘Just Passing By’…a thunderous ‘Fifth House’…”

JAZZ AND BLUES REPORT: “Zeitlin, a gifted player with a well-integrated range of heartfelt jazz expressions and strong left-hand foundation, expertly and confidently executes four well-crafted originals among the 12 tunes, ‘Blues On the Side,’ ‘And Then I Wondered If You Knew,’ ‘Country Fair,’ and ‘Just Passing By,’ with the same vibrancy devoted to standards by Gershwin, Coltrane, Ellington, and Porter. An impassioned, delightful offering from a pianist conversant in the jazz tradition.”

BLACK & WHITE: “Denny Zeitlin’s ‘day job’ is teaching and practicing psychiatry, but from the first chord of At Maybeck, you know you’re in the presence of a master musician. Zeitlin likes to rearrange tunes to fit his personality (Gershwin’s ‘My Man’s Gone Now’ becomes a mini-concerto), but his phrasing has so much clarity and rhythmic energy that the listener is borne aloft on his novel variations.”

JAZZ (France): “Each time a new album of the Maybeck collection is released, we say to ourselves that it surpasses all that preceeded it. This one could well in fact surpass all that will follow it.”
