Praise for Jazz Violin

Jazz Violin goes from swinging to sentimental, all of it orchestrated expertly by a young man who’s clearly double trouble in the violin world. - Roger LeLievre, The Ann Arbor News

 

Kittel seems destined to be a world-class talent, and Jazz Violin is the ear-catching debut of a formidable jazzer. Unlike the shiny, violinistic Euro- sound of Stephane Grappelly or Mark O'Connor, and equally unlike the rough-at-the-edges stridency of Stuff Smith or Regina Carter, Kittel has almost miraculously found an original, signature sound: dark, preternaturally lean and hornlike, a perfect instrumental voice for jazz and not really like anyone else's. - Chris Rietz, Lansing State Journal
