"Hot Club Swing play jazz with wild gypsy abandon" - The Age 7/11/03


"...an album of great musicianship that remains simultaneously evocative, passionate, full of flair, loose and fun." - review of 'Musique du Jour', Forte 25/7/02

"Uncompromising with the musical conventions of jazz art, a beautiful close texture of sound as setting for intriguing individual elaborations on melody, harmony and rhythm..."
- Geelong Advertiser 1/9/99

"...the Hot Club style has more European and classical elements. Gypsy traits...dark, passionate minor keys...soaring melodies...hard-driving rhythm." - Geelong Advertiser 1/5/99

"The gypsy extravaganza was fabulous, far exceeding my expectations...It’s thrilling to watch and hear it. Ben's guitar solos were wonderfully inspired and Phil's playing hit a very soft spot in me, in the nicest, loveliest way." - re Big House, Brunswick gig, Monica R. 22/3/04
