"...Playing an extended solo that somehow merged quasi- baroque techniques with swing rhythms, snippets of hokey holiday tunes with passages of brilliant jazz improvisation, Levy unleashed more ideas in this opening solo than many musicians do in an entire set."
--Howard Reich, The Chicago Tribune, Dec. 1996


"...Howard Levy is a revelation; there are times when it is hard to believe he is playing only a harmonica, for he has the expressive range and depth of a saxophonist."
-- Geoff Dyer, The London Observer, March 1994


"... may be the most radical single technical innovator in the history of his instrument..."
-- Kim Field, Harmonicas, Harps, and Heavy Breathers, Simon & Schuster 1993
