"The feeling in a small club quickly grows intense when GILAD HEKSELMAN... steps up to improvise. Since arriving in New York... Mr. Hekselman has set himself roughly up in the line of Pat Metheny and Kurt Rosenwinkel, with a warm and clean guitar tone, clear articulation, crazily extended improvisational ideas..."
— Ben Ratliff, New York Times
