 "Each encounter with this magical trio - regularly at the legendary 55 Bar in NYC's Greenwich Village - produces fireworks of the highest order." Here is what an audience member wrote after hearing them: "I pinched myself more than a few times last night. I wanted to make sure I was actually hearing what I thought I was hearing. Pilc with Richard Bona and Obed Calvaire. Super trio par excellence. Jazz has never been in better hands. If anybody has the opportunity to hear Jean-Michel Pilc play anyplace, anywhere, anytime, just get there and enjoy the ride." |

 "Davis’ folksy and humble stage presence, combined with his humorous monologues, made one feel that this was not a concert, but rather, an impromptu performance on a front porch down in some southern swamp. Indeed, at times Davis had the audience singing, clapping and stomping their feet." --Daily Herald Tribune, Grand Prairie, Alberta
"You could call Guy Davis a musical child of Taj Mahal. But, in truth, he’s the son of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, two of the most famous black actors of their generation. The talent apple didn’t fall far from the tree but did land in a different orchard." --Tony Peyser, Santa Monica Mirror

Magnet Magazine
"When it comes to MAGNET’s home base of Philadelphia, we’ve always been a little biased. But that’s not why we’re so excited about Philly musician Suzie Brown. Aside from being a first-rate singer/songwriter (no small feat), she is a Harvard-educated cardiologist with a master’s degree in translational research from the University of Pennsylvania who has also studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and sang in an a cappella group while an undergrad at Dartmouth. (Feeling kind of like a loser in comparison yet? We are. Like most of Philadelphia, we went to Temple.)"
Time Out New York
"Honey-voiced singer-songwriter Suzie Brown airs the pleasingly frilly, old-school country stylings on her debut album, Heartstrings.”
June 09, 2011
Robert M. Kelley -
Philadelphia Inquirer
"Her songs showcase her smooth fingerpicking and clear voice. Some are ballads with a dash of country twang, offset by the texture of lush chords."
