Reviews:

DOWNBEAT: “Denny Zeitlin, as we’ve come to expect, gives us an ongoing, fluid dialog between mind and instrument, done with more than a usual helping of wistful, reflective moods, held in a delicate balance of thought and feeling. It’s a measure of Zeitlin’s subtle skill as an improviser that repeated listenings are required to delineate where Zeitlin’s thematic material ends and his improvisations begin, so organic is his conception.”

BOSTON PHOENIX: “In Denny Zeitlin, Living Music has someone truly special…‘Homecoming’ is Zeitlin’s first solo acoustic album in a while, and it apparently was done at the urging of Winter, a longtime friend. We should thank both of them, because it’s great. In terms of musical sophistication, it’s light years ahead of what you’d expect from a ‘New Age’ label, and yet it’s an album that even those who aren’t jazz fans can appreciate.”

CHATTANOOGA TIMES: “Solo piano outing by the jazz pianist/composer is propelled by intensity of feeling, incorporation of significant jazz idioms and an exuberant sense of adventure and discovery.”

EVERETT HERALD: “He blends classical techniques with all sorts of jazz angles and before you know it you’ve got an unusual, far-reaching album of monumental proportions. ‘Homecoming’, his debut on the Living Music label, is one of those. It is a worthy addition to his growing (and engrossing) body of work.”
