Love Walked In
"The trombonist [Russ Phillips] and David Schiff...have a knack for judicious twists on received formula...Lambert's vocal is unadorned, but heartfelt, and Phillips' direct playing, with a wonderful nod to Lawrence Brown, is a joy...[Phillips] is a musical, self-assured baritorne...a notable effort."
David Dupont, Cadence

I'm Glad There is You
"
Russ Phillips boasts a fluid, smooth tone on trombone that he uses to good advantage...Phillips exudes joy in his playing ...he has a clean, crisp articulation, too, in his solos, and improvises gracefully and without cliché. The good sound quality brings out the best in the musicians, and makes you realize how rare it is to hear modern trombone and rhythm performing in this style with the kind of quality represented here."
Steven Loewy, Cadence
