|
|
"Perhaps most notable, he couples a good, traditional sound with a high level of technical facility that he displays via quick, arpeggiated sections.....Solo guitar fans should find it to be a pleasant listening experience."
"What really astounds me are the incredible myriad of noises that Frank can draw from his guitar, whether it be the traditional sound, ..more horn-like riffs, or even something that is comparable to a piano....his contributions to the number of bands that he is in is due to the high level of professionality that he exerts on 'Standards 1'...a guitar in his hand is a living, breathing instrument."
"Singer blends the tried-and-true with the unknown in a beguiling fashion...the performance is Singer at his tops, challenging that of Joe Pass...you can't select any better that 'Off The Top.'"
"Singer's guitar work is astonishing here easily putting him in the same class as the great Jim Hall and the late great Joe Pass."
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY 71 minutes of unaccompanied guitar as Frank Singer does on his program of 12 standards, you'd better have a good sense of time..."
"Frank Singer, whose work has been compared to that of George Benson and Larry Coryell, easily comes across as the consummate musician that he is..."
"The musical highlight was Frank Singer at Scully's. He played fast and intricate, yet fluid jazz guitar with Tito. Kinda like Larry Coryell meets Wes Montgomery. Couple hours later, we jazzwalked up to the Docksider to catch the last set of One World Tribe. There Singer was again, playing keyboards. Same passion, joy, and skill. ... It was the most amazing display of musicianship I've experienced in Erie in a long time."
"...Frank Singer is capable of just about anything musically. He plays piano like Keith Jarret or Chick Corea on acid; fast, furious, and right on. What's really sick is that he's probably as good a guitar player as he is a keyboard player. Any song on this disk he had a hand in writing is a gem."
