What People Are Saying
“He's built a reputation for going down his own idiosyncratic path, while simultaneously crafting music that's at once accessible and adventuresome, and undeniably soulful.”
— John Murph, Downbeat Magazine
“...lithe and audacious”
— Nate Chinen, New York Times
“Not Bleckmann, not Elling,
not even Murphy - can rival the outre audacity of JD Walter”
— Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
“The guy is like an instrument--a phenomenon!!”
— Dave Liebman
“Five stars! Five stars I tell you! 'Sirens in the C- House' is without a doubt a five star CD...From track one to track nine a stunner.”
— Don Williamson, Allaboutjazz.com
“Vocalist JD Walter displayed a talent for scat singing that rivals the best in jazz history”
— Michael Caruso, The Chestnut Hill Local
“He’s something else. It’s wonderful what he does, and did. He’s exciting to hear live, and he’s building up… “I was almost a little depressed after the record was all finished, because I said, “This is too good; this is too much above most jazz fans.”
— Mark Murphy, Jazziz
