"The dazzling pianist and composer has forged a distinctive amalgam of jazz, Latin American, and classical music. For this solo concert, on a Steinway 9-foot Model D Ebony Concert Grand brought in for the occasion, he'll perform music by J.S. Bach, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Radiohead, Astor Piazzolla, Robert Schumann, and John Coltrane, among others".
- Kevin Lowenthal, Globe Correspondent

"Composer/pianist, Donal Fox, has an extraordinary musical reach-Latin vamps, New Orleans second line marches, free-jazz explosions, Monk taken to the out-there edges of Schoenberg and Webern, a lyric take on Bach or Chopin or jazz trio. He's got the all-over power of McCoy Tyner and the superb keyboard marksmanship of Ellington and Horowitz"
--Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix

"Fox is a brilliant technician and an exquisite magician at the keyboard. From Bach's Preludium emerged a tango by Astor Piazolla as if it were the most natural thing in the world"
-- Mittelbayrische Zeitung, Germany

"Fox's music is unlike that of anyone else, while at the same time it evokes McCoy Tyner, Art Tatum, the intensity of Coltrane and of the blues, shades of Bach and Cuban music"
-- Jazz Hot, France

"The set was brilliant. Intellectual beyond my comprehension, but fascinating. There is no way to passively listen to Fox."
-- Broadway World.

"Mr. Fox's piano playing, bursting with violent, keyboard-spanning runs, drove the music. A searching middle section quotes fragments of a Charlie Parker blues tune, "Now's the Time." After a steely solo piano cadenza, the piece concludes with a pensive finale based on a descending, and strangely haunting, four-note refrain. . .an arresting piece"
-- Anthony Tomassini, New York Times
