Chris May, All About Jazz (2006)
Whilst leavening the jazz chops with outside rock and funk elements, Blake doesn't compromise his stance as a firm individualist.
Martin Longley, Jazz Review
Blake Wilner is an individual voice on guitar. Reflective, with a distinctive approach to composition, his pieces are lyrical, melodic and attractive. Solos are clean and spacious, and the result of concentrated thought. His career usefully demonstrates the international nature of jazz, and its ability to absorb music from anywhere in the world.
Mike Butler, Metro
An accomplished composer... whose music has an auspicious emotional and structural range.
Jazz Journal International
As with many of the evening's other pieces, the work then strayed into emotionally ambiguous territory, with tempestuous outbursts and moments of astounded revelation. An imaginative and original quartet.
James Griffiths, The Guardian
This is contemporary jazz at its best and some of the finest dynamic music on current offer.
Wes Gillespie, EuroclubdeJazz
