Length of Days
If, among contemporary pianists, Brad Mehldau and Bill Charlap represent the gold standard, then Deanna Witkowski deservedly
ranks as their sterling sister. -Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
Wide Open Window
Witkowski is not far from jazz stardom with her
keyboard techniques, her imaginative composing
and arranging, and her wordless vocalizing.
Remember her name.
-Harvey Siders, JazzTimes
Having to Ask
Deanna's spirit- and her spirituality- come through
on this consummate debut, and that spirit is astonishing.
-Don Glasgo, Jazz Improv
