"Kirk
Elliott is the Leonardo da Vinci of music."
(Max Ferguson, CBC Radio)
"A
one man cottage industry of sound."
(Jurgen Gothe, CBC Radio)
"Kirk
Elliott's score is inspired. The composer is able to
write in any style."
(Paula Citron, the Toronto Star)
"Quite excellent violin work."
(Paul McGrath, the Globe & Mail)
"A
great example of jazz fiddling. Not only is Mr. Elliott
happy to give the likes of Stephane Grapelli a run for
their money, he throws in a cracking guitar solo as
well ... disgustingly talented hands!"
(BBC Radio)
"The
driving score by Kirk Elliott provides irresistible
propulsion for a forceful dance that uses the music
as a sonic scoop."
(Max Wyman, the Vancouver Sun)
"A
fantasy violin solo held an audience ... to pin-drop
concentration."
(Wilder Penfield III, the Toronto Sun)
"Elliott, who is also a master fiddler, is one of the
most inventive collaborators around, and has been a
boon to the dance community in a number of ways, both
as a composer and performer ... his music reflected
the sensibility of the choreographer's vision exactly,
and amply demonstrated the multi-level scope of his
own imagination."
(Dance In Canada Magazine)
"A
smashing collection of fiddle tunes ... played with
skill as well as joyous enthusiasm. And the album has
a great cover, too!"
(The Canadian Composer)
"This
could be the textbook for playing the fiddle with taste,
style, flair, passion, and a great sense of delight
that makes life so good."
(Alan Weekes, CKUO Radio)
