“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!”
Bill Griffith -San Diego News Anchor - KGTV News Channel 10

“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!! CD: Say The Word Label: Mister B Records ”
jazz lynx - Cafe Jazz Radio

“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. ”
Noreen Ippolito - clear channel

“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”
TAXI

“Burt Brion is an artist who deserves to be heard”
Smooth Jazz Therapy

“. 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.....”
