“Your CD is one of the few which is as entertaining to listen to as it is to see performed “live", thanks for the opportunity!”

“More recently, Brion's star has continued to rise with Say The Word gaining ever-increasing exposure and airplay. From that effort, we have the lead track highlighted by Burt's superb piano playing and the snappy scatting of Deborah Flores!!

“We have attended Burt Brion’s performances a couple of times at Humphreys by the Bay. Each time I am pleasantly surprised at how much entertainment I get. It is a high energy show with keyboard excellence and he has a supporting cast of San Diego’s finest musicians. My husband and I try to go to the shows as often as possible.

“Burt Brion's show is high energy, entertaining and musically excellent!”
Noreen Ippollito - Clear Channel Radio
“The track-"Let's get it going"- grooves great and features some really hooky lines and a superb scat vocal.I think sounds potentially quite viable for Wave radio formats. Nice interplay between sax, piano and organ: the gospel licks give the piece a more distinctive vibe”

“. This is good stuff...totally in the Smooth Jazz groove, and very well-performed and produced. (Check out "Let's Get it Going" and "Sunrise Serenade" as signature Brion), and totally compatible with the Smooth Jazz format.....”
