Everyone needs to hear this record.” MATTHEW NICHOLL – Berklee College of Music “I’m absolutely knocked out by the depth and breadth of Niles' knowledge, but most especially by the wonderfully humane, authentic and honest way he delivers the material. A masterpiece – an important work.” PROFESSOR KEVIN McCLUSKEY, Berklee College of Music "Niles' music is and always will be important, relevant and above all beautiful.” DANN GLENN "Baaaaaad. Niles' music is really creative and well performed. Awesome work.” BILL CHAMPLIN "Richard has done for the art of pop arranging what Alec Wilder did for American Popular Song and Gunther Schuller did for the Swing Era - written THE definitive account that will stand as a text book on the subject. It's also great fun as well as being informative and eminently readable." JOHN ALTMAN
