~ WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO SAY ~

Jazz Forum writes: "Jof brings a great sense of harmony and rhythm with his playing. He provides much color as a soloist." ~ Jazz Forum Vol. 124

Dave Liebman states: "Jof plays with a great deal of energy, well controlled and with great taste" ~ Saxophone Journal 2/89

Cadence Magazine says:: "Lee is a considerate sideman. He does not overplay yet his support never falters" ~ Cadence Jazz Vol.13 No. 5

Mike McMenamin says: "I can remember many times when the immortal trio of Leroy, Mel and Jof would plug in and go into some sort of unearthly orbit.
They were simply stunning in the music they played and the way they played it." ~ McMenamins Group

Ron Wynn says: "Bassist Leroy Vinnegar, a familiar figure on the West Coast has released his latest album on the Contemporary label.
The date features pianist Jof Lee, drummer, Mel Brown and percussionist Curtis Craft.
While it is Vinnegar's session, he doesn't dominate, but sets the table. It isn't so much easy listening as swinging,
sophisticated material from well established pros who enjoy working with each other." ~ The All Music Guide to Jazz
