“The piano playing by Russell Holmes is spectacular. There is a certain inevitability about music when you hear it played right – you just can’t believe it could be played any other way. That is how I feel when I listen to Russell Holmes”
CD review Australian Music Forum Magazine by Craig Dabelstein
“This trio is cohesive, well practiced and brimful of energy. The music delivered by this current Russell Holmes Trio was compelling, often powered by tension and with a deeply embedded swing“
