“The title and lyric of Body & Soul gives us as improvisers an approach about how to play music. It’s all about love and expression. Coleman Hawkins felt it and set a high standard of creative improvisation for everyone to follow no matter what tune you are exploring. Let’s not forget all of these beautiful solos included in this well-crafted book were played spontaneously with eyes closed and ears opened! Bravo, Eric, for your amazing work and passion.” -Joe Lovano
