“Brazilian Wish is well worth close listening. There is a lot to discover in Matt Finley’s very appealing brand of Brazilian jazz.” - Scott Yanow, author of 11 books including Trumpet Kings

"Execution is virtually flawless; he smokes on every tune" - Frank Villafane (Reviewer for WWW.VINILEMANIA.NET)

"Your playing certainly is top-notch - best of luck" - Russ Davis, XM Radio

"A hybrid of Brazilian sonic structures under sleek, melodic American-style jazz." - J. Spica, WVKR

"Brazilian Wish", the debut recording by trumpeter and flugelhornist Matt Finley is an independent release of a quality to rival any of the big labels. A fantastic production, with top-notch accompanists, great arrangements, well written, catchy Latin flavored songs – all composed by Mr. Finley and performed in a high energy joyful spirit that flows from the opening track and throughout the nine songs that make up this truly fine first effort." - Paul J. Youngman (Reviewer for WWW.VINILEMANIA.NET)

"Your CD sounds great! Brazilian Wish is Awesome!" - Rachell Bivins (Publisher, ABYSSJazz Magazine)

"Brazilian Wish" has a great energy: very warm, bright and relaxed. The nine original tracks by trumpeter and flugelhorn player Matt Finley feature arrangements by Jon Werking that sparkle and pop, with a propelling rhythmic infrastructure. The album is nicely paced, and the performances are top-notch. Finley's playing is fluid and melodic, with satisfying nuance, and he has assembled some of the finest jazz artists around." - Kate Goldsmith (Editor, Southern Dutchess News.
