"A brilliant piano-bass duo reading of tunes from the Jewish and
African-American sacred traditions and easily the best record I've reviewed
this year. Warm, intelligent and swinging..." Jewish Week

"Avadim Hayinu" was a moving, inspiring program that brought together the
Jewish and African-American communities at UNH in both planning and enjoying
a community wide event." Raina Goldberg, Director of Regional Student
Services, Hillel Council of New England

 "I would like to indicate my appreciation for the educational quality-not
to mention the musical quality-of the selections that David and Warren
performed for our event . . .  [The] comments before each selection were
learned and engagingly presented and provided a striking example of how
music can reach the mind as well as the soul." Dr. Peter Zaas, Professor of
Religious Studies, Siena College
