“Garrick is a national treasure, less well known than his talent deserves. The first part of this excellent DVD contains a recording from Pizza On The Park over two nights in December of 2006, and very good it is too. Garrick combines many different influences in his playing and compositions. They range from Ellington to Monk and contain some free passages as well as classical motifs. Martin Hathaway on alto is new to me – my loss as he's a terrific player. The second part is a lengthy interview where Garrick talks intelligently and with humour about his early years, composition, previous band members and poetry and jazz. Compelling stuff all round."
"As an afterword it does seem to me that the BBC and Channel Four are missing a trick by not looking at least three of these DVD's to see just how well jazz can do on a small screen. The ones by Garrick, Petrucciani and "Lockjaw" would sit quite comfortably in any ‘Arts Culture’ slot without too much editing, and the first two would be the equal of anything shown recently, without any danger of an audience turning off. The production values are high, and yet (I am guessing here) the production costs are not high.”

"Within a few years, the Dutton Epoch label's new release programme has become the first stop for collectors anxious to increase their knowledge of unjustly neglected British music."
Robert Matthew-Walker,
International Record Review, January 2008

"This is a series which comprehensively rights a number of artistic wrongs."
Robert Matthew-Walker,
International Record Review, June 2007

"The torrent of enterprising offerings from
Dutton Epoch shows no sign of abating."
Andrew Achenbach, The Gramophone, June 2007

"... an extraordinarily valuable series."
