  • I find Amy Stephens’ music immediately accessible and richly expressive. Immediately apparent is the way in which Amy incorporates the language of jazz into classical forms. The sophistication with which she does this sets her apart from others who may pay homage to another genre. The result in her compositions: a fully integrated and individual style.

    Craig Richey, CAPMT Commissioned Composer Chair

  • Stephens plays it all as if with a smile on her face and in her fingers. Stunning finger work, effortlessly negotiated.

    Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine

  • Instantly embraceable jazz

  • A formidable originator of new music. This is the future of instrumental jazz

    Michael Nastos, All Music Guide

  • Contemporary jazz that is passionate, innovative, engaging and witty….The biggest star on the disc is Stephens, whom I've never met but whose playing is so warm and intimate I feel like I'm best friends with her already.

    Steve Hammer, Nuvo

  • This one is a gem.

  • Stephens is a very prolific and melodic composer who is able to allure you with a sophisticated, appealing feel.

    Chuck Workman, WTPI-FM

  • Stephens suggests Keith Jarrett on the keys.
