QUICK QUOTES

• Bruce Babad's "A Tribute To Paul Desmond" deserves prolonged exposure. Bruce Babad, Larry Koonse, Ed Czach, Luther Hughes abd Steve Barns are superb.
       -- Doug Ramsey, Rifftides (from review on A Tribute To Paul Desmond")

• Bruce Babad's solo on alto brings to mind Phil Woods.
       -- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition (from review on the Bill Holman Band CD "Hommage")

• Babad demonstrates a pronounced swing articulation and a rhythmic drive akin to Adderley.
       -- OWEN CORDLE, Raleigh News-Observer

• Babad's "Julian" recalls Cannonball Adderley's passion for the blues and his unmistakable round tone. Stretching each phrase with a personal touch, he emulates the spirit that Adderley gave us every day of his life.
       -- JIM SANTELLA, allaboutjazz.com

• Babad...is certainly no soul slouch, even compared with Adderley. He wailed on, then wailed some more, recalling a time when this music existed solely to raise the listener's blood pressure.
       -- STEVE EDDY, Orange County Register (referring to CCP's live performance of "Super Jet" at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in January 2005.)
