"I just wish Gershwin were here... one of the finest exponents of his music I have ever seen."
Larry Adler, harmonica virtuoso

"A whirlwind excursion...revealed a pianist with rock solid technique and forceful keyboard presence...Tedeschi’s rhythms are always crisp, his sense of purpose clear. He projects a pleasantly dreamy and mellow tone, and runs through a soft melody smoothly and lightly..."
Shirley Fleming, New York Post

"Greatness can be difficult to define but its presence is also tangible. In Simon Tedeschi's recital...there was no doubting that greatness."
John Carmody, Sun Herald
