Sounds Like: "Terzic combines the poise and dexterity of Hamza Al Din with a Western-inclusive attitude akin to Anouar Brahem, threading slivers of blues and funk into his more fevered string bending and sounding remarkably self-assured."-Derek TaylorBagatellen http://www.bagatellen.com/archives/reviews/001773.html"Terzi c...... leads off with an Oud solo that sounds like it was taken right from Jimi Hendrix's fret board."-Richard MarkusBC Music http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/25/205410.php"Brando n Terzic....is both original and solidly locked in the tradition at the same time; not an easy juggling act, but one he pulls off with aplomb and grace."- Thomas R. ErdmannJazz Review http://www.jazzreview.com/cd/review-19346.html"Terzic’s opening oud solo is informed by none other than Robert Johnson’s deal struck at the infamous crossroads. Yes, the blues."-Mark CorrotoAll About Jazz http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=26783
