"Kevin Frieson writes and performs in the jazz idiom but with just a little different outlook. Quite refreshing."

- Micah Solomon
President, Oasis CD Duplication

"Kevin Frieson must be a little confused. That's certainly an indication from the release Ebony Tears. Correction. Frieson isn't confused just versatile. Ebony Tears may be the most diverse yet without a miss in the 11 tunes. There is almost no old style improvisational sound here, which suited this listener just fine. Everything made sense and never went off the deep end. It is coherent,clearly the result of organization and quality producing. It takes you to different places and you regret none of the visits. "
