" The perfect control over the instruments allowed the soloists the subtle, at times almost jocular transition through the different styles and genres – waltz, jazz, Bulgarian folk rhythms!… The emotional and capturing performance aroused the spontaneous applause of the audience and the consequent encore – a brief improvisation by Todd Brunel based on the Bulgarian folk song Recumbent Todora"

"Todd Brunel's Vortex series presented Katt Hernandez and himself with highly regarded blues oriented pianist David Maxwell sitting in with the duo. The music was all over the place, succeeding and failing intermittently with all of its diversity. The highlight of the set.....was the Brunel Hernandez encore in which everything came together beautifully."

— Stu Vandermark, Cadence Magazine

 
" In "Freedom by Design", Butch Morris's Conduction leaves little to chance. The success of the conductions depends on Morris's ability to find compatible musicians....
