Reviews:

Jazz Ecuador: “No one around plays like pianist Jim Gala. At first, I couldn’t figure out what he was doing musically; I couldn’t analyze the music. It was just too beautiful and beyond my scope. All I could do was let the music wash over me and accept its effect. Jim is one of my musical idols. He is a real soul man. No one plays like him. His musical philosophy, sensibility and taste are impeccable. He changed my life with his music. I actually quote him often and wrote about him in my book.”—J. Riley Cain, Jazz anthologist & pianist, & author

* “Cuenca is blessed to have such an artist in Jim Gala. I’ve played with some of the greats on both sides of the Atlantic, yet I have never heard such a transformative unique jazz pianist as Jim Gala. Simply put he’s a true musical genius.”

—Bill Scott, Broadway Singer, Composer & Arranger

* “The jazz was better than bands I’ve heard at NYC jazz clubs, and the food was delicious. It was a delightful and memorable experience.” —Frank Mangione
