"Bravo Reuben for this challenging endeavor! It was time that the beauty and spirit of our Jewish musical tradition be introduced within the Jazz community. The Chassidic Jazz Project amply succeeds in this task! And in doing so, it melds two separate art forms in a constant state of flux. The result: a unique new voice with great potential for growth!"
Richie Zellon

"The Chassidic jazz project was one of the most interesting musical experiences I've heard in a long time. Blending influences of ancient forms of ritualistic song with the afro-cuban rhythmic ideology of western jazz, a new music is born that propels us into both an intellectual and spiritually emotional experience. This music will carry you to new vistas and transport you to a place of great beauty!"
Sarah Jane Cion
